Painting is a powerful way of expressing ideas and imagination. Every child need a guidance to understand how to express their thoughts with colours.

You will learn to paint with Acrylic Colours,water colours,Pastel colours,paper crafts,bottle painting,tshirt painting. These creative learning classes are for kids (age:4-12).Kids with no prior experiences with painting are also welcomed.

French native speaker -Do you like art? Do you want to share your feelings about your last exhibition and improve your French? Join me for a French conversation course about art! Talk about your favourite painting or works of art you love and express your thoughts about art and along the way you'll learn art related vocabulary. I focus on speaking, writing, reading and listening and on the French art and culture. We will speak French as much as possible, and of course grammar and conjugation.

Classes for children between 3 and 12 years, for the development of their artistic, cognitive and motor skills.
Once a week, with different artistic activities with recycled utensils, you dance painting and create artistic products for each week.

If you have ever wanted to learn how to draw a beautiful art piece, sketch freely, understand how to translate what's in your head to paper, look no further!
I can help you out with guidance, tips, exercises that will help you lose the fear of the pencil and paper and start creating great pieces of artwork yourself!
And if you are already someone that's brave and draws as a hobby but would like to improve on their skills, I offer some extra tips and resources for you to get your skills to the next level!

Interested? Let's make some art!!

If you are reading this, it's not too late...you are in good hands:)
Especially if you 're (going to prepare/ preparing) a portfolio for art/design school application.

"Learning by making"
From drawing, oil painting to creative thinking training through materiality.
Each age is special and different visual styles can be worked upon and the outcomes can often be surprisingly authentic. Those anticipations are the basis of each class. My classes are designed through collaborations when it comes to experimentations or intersected fields and mediums, which is an option and pertinent characteristic of approach.

Classes are applicable to students who are 16+ of all levels .
Personal Portfolio Class:
If you are considering applying for art school or design school, you might want to prepare yourself and build a convincing portfolio, perhaps improve your presentation skill or even some confidence boost for interviews.
We will first explore what talents you already have and those you will want/need to have, the goal is to help you develop your creativity and curiosity as well as your artistic skills and most importantly find out your inner talent for a direction that will suit you, whether in education or self-development. And we will do a live rehearsal for your interview for the best presentation result and confidence boost. Overall, It'll help you cultivate the soft and hard skills you need to be more confident setting and resetting expectations, strengthening relationships, and taking your projects across the finish line without any cold sweat.

For teenagers: are highly encouraged to experiment with different materials and techniques and preferably through themes - selected by me or the student's likings as well. We will also look at specific Artists and Painters, as well as specific Art History periods, and the kids will then be encouraged to play around and recreate their own version of the Artist or period. Needless to say that class do not necessarily mean free-time activity, the academic material is intentionally or not(unconsciously) always a present element of my instructive performance. Therefore, the game becomes a teaching/learning relation, whilst teaching and learning turn into a recreational joyful moment for all participants.

Making and designing costumes is something many fear to approach, due to the unconventional nature of their making.

As a self-taught costume designer and seamstress with 10 years of experience I believe the best approach to learning is by doing.

Together, we will come up with a design, talk about the different aspects of creating a costume for different purposes, break down the different parts of the design and work on it together - from pattern creation or augmentation to the final costume.

I can teach either on your own sewing machine or mine.

Does your kid love to draw? Encouraging and assisting the development of artistic skills and expression might be a great way to help them have fun, develop a hobby and even spend some time off the screen.
I offer individual tutoring and in small groups (welcome, brothers, and sisters!), and this is how it works:

- Students benefit from an assigned period of deliberate practice.
- Students can create the drawings they want while getting insights into drawing fundamentals through feedback and interventions.
- Students (especially 9 or over) are given tasks and exercises that keep them motivated.

If you think this is a good match for the creative mind in your house, let me know!

In this unique lesson series, led by Naomi Mitsuko Makkelie, you will explore the powerful connection between art and psychology. With Naomi's academic background in both visual arts and psychology, she offers an in-depth perspective on how painting can serve as a therapeutic medium. This course is designed for individuals of all ages and skill levels who are interested in using painting and drawing as a means of personal development and healing.

These classes focus on intuitive painting, a technique that encourages participants to explore their subconscious feelings, memories, and even unresolved traumas. Through this expressive art form, participants are given the opportunity to explore and express their inner world in a non-verbal manner, opening a unique path to healing and self-discovery.

What You Can Expect

Guidance from an expert in both Art and Psychology: Naomi guides participants through the process of intuitive painting, offering techniques that help bring the subconscious to the surface.
A Supportive Environment: Each participant is encouraged to work at their own pace and explore their personal experiences.
Personal Development: The focus is on the process, not the end product. Participants learn how to use art as a form of self-care and self-expression.
Therapeutic Techniques: In addition to painting techniques, exercises will be introduced that focus on mindfulness and strengthening the mind-body connection.

Location: Treehouse NDSM, Amsterdam, or location chosen by the student.
For Who?: Suitable for adults, children and teenagers.
Duration: Best results are determined when the course involves multiple sessions (exact number and dates to be determined), but a single session is also possible.
Materials: All necessary materials are provided. Participants are encouraged to bring personal items that can serve as inspiration.

By approaching art as a means of self-exploration and healing, Naomi offers a unique opportunity to grow both as an artist and an individual. These classes are more than an art course; it is a journey into the heart of your own creative and emotional landscape.

Art Therapy is a mental health service to support individuals seeking a safe space to process their emotions and stressors/trauma. You may use art materials to develop coping tools to build emotional regulation and creative expression and self-esteem. No necessary artistic skills are required. It is not mandatory to use art materials. Art therapy is another form of psychotherapy which focuses psychodynamic and gestalt approaches.

I provide my service for individual and group art therapy and this can be conducted online or in-person. We can work towards your goals on sleeping issues, anger management, anxiety, stress, depression/low mood, life transition, ADHD/Autism, and more.

I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and have practical experience working with children and the elderly. In addition to my academic background, I gained valuable experience as an Au Pair in the Netherlands, where I cared for and supported the development of children, organized educational and recreational activities, and helped with their emotional and behavioral growth.

Furthermore, as part of my psychology internship, I worked in a temporary care center for children at risk, where I provided emotional and psychological support, assisted in their development, and worked closely with a multidisciplinary team to ensure their well-being and safety.

I also have experience working in a care home for the elderly, where I provided emotional and psychological support, assisted with the adaptation and well-being of the residents, and collaborated with the team to enhance their quality of life.

These two experiences gave me a broad understanding of the needs of different age groups and the ability to adapt to the specific needs of each person, whether a child or an elderly individual.

I am fluent in Portuguese and have an intermediate level of English. I am willing to adapt to your specific needs and look forward to contributing positively and meaningfully, whether working with children or the elderly.

My name is Katia, and I am an artist and museum educator with a passion for working with children. I have over four years of experience in various roles, including babysitter, art teacher, and youth tour guide. For two years, I worked at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, creating educational programs for children. Currently, I have some free time alongside my job and would love to offer art + theory lessons for kids.

A bit more about the classes: The first thing to know is that this is not a traditional academic art program focused solely on painting and drawing—we won’t be sketching fruit bowls and vases (well, maybe occasionally!). Instead, we will explore various artistic media, from Impressionism to Land Art, incorporating hands-on activities, a bit of theory with artist examples, and possibly museum visits and/or outdoor walks.
