Teaching through lectures and discussions accompanied by representative images from different periods of art history. We will discuss the composition of images, the main characteristics of different movements and styles, the meaning behind their iconography, and the historical context in which they emerged. We will discuss the history of Western art from antiquity to the present day. We won't limit ourselves to Europe! We will also discuss pre-Columbian and American art. My class is aimed at anyone interested in learning about art history, whether for personal enrichment or as a supplement to a school course.

An approach based on the close study of sometimes little-known works to develop a solid artistic culture. - Study of the materiality of the works. - Interpretation and history of the works and movements on the program. - Development of a critical mind and an artistic eye. Preparation for the École du Louvre entrance exam: Support in compiling the 35 works on the syllabus. ==> Methodology of the dissertation and the description of works of art. Mock exams: suggested topics and corrections of assignments. ==> A personalized approach to success in April.

My goal is to make History feel less like an endless list of dates and names, and help you understand what happened, why it happened, and how different events are connected. We’ll work with clear explanations, diagrams, examples, and practical techniques to prepare for exams and structure your answers effectively. I adapt each lesson to the pace and needs of every student. The idea is that you feel comfortable asking as many questions as you need and finish each lesson genuinely understanding the subject. And on top of that, I have a C1 level in English!

How do you move from making individual artworks to developing a practice that feels genuinely your own? I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of international experience. In these individual mentoring sessions, I work with artists and creative people who want to develop a more personal artistic language, deepen their ideas, or reconnect with a practice that has become stuck or uncertain. Rather than teaching a particular style or giving you formulas to follow, we look closely at what already interests you: recurring images, materials, questions, experiences, contradictions and ways of thinking. From there, we explore how these elements can become part of a stronger and more individual body of work. Our sessions may involve discussion of your current work, experimentation, sketchbooks, writing, research, contemporary art and art history, as well as artists, writers and thinkers relevant to the questions emerging from your practice. We can work on questions such as: What makes your work yours? Which ideas are worth pursuing? How can you develop a concept without simply illustrating it? How can research become part of the work? How do you recognise and move beyond habits, imitation or creative blocks? This mentoring is suitable for people who want more than technical instruction and are interested in developing an independent, thoughtful and sustainable creative practice. Sessions are available in English or Portuguese and are shaped around each person's interests, work and creative process.
