Ik hou van een uitdaging waar ik mijn kennis graag deel en zelf ook iets nieuws te leren.

Heb jij een vraag of begeleiding nodig op het gebied van schrijven laat het me weten. Ik schrijf nu als freelancer veel losse opdrachten en publiceer eigen werk wat veelal op mijn passie kunst en onderwijs is gericht. Ik heb jaren aan de Pabo gestudeerd waar ik artikelen, onderzoeken, een essay en mijn scriptie succesvol heb afgerond.

Ik zou graag begeleiding willen geven aan de schrijvers die er even niet uitkomen, uitleg nodig hebben of voor welke vraag dan ook.

Individual tutoring assisting with annotation of artwork for A-Level and GSCE level art and design, photography, and arts and crafts.
- Via online teaching
-Enhancing technical annotation vocabulary
-Coursework annotation
-Comprehensive understanding of how to annotate a piece of art

Currently I am studying pharmacy at university, I did GCSE + ALEVEL Art and Design - obtaining A* (100%) in both.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

ik leer de kinderen bezighouden met knutselen of verhaaltje lezen in een kinderboek leren tellen leren rekenen of kinderen dat achter stand hebben met rekenen of lezen of schrijven om meer aandacht te geven kinderen dat niet kan volgen op school van ze meer leer stof te geven

Hierbij bied ik mij zelf aan als bijles hulp.

Ik ben mezelf aan het orienteren op dit gebied. Door de corona ben ik mijn baan verloren en ik wil mijzelf graag nuttig maken. Ik kan helpen bij lezen/schrijven/overhoren... Verslagen maken.

Met vriendelijke groeten Petra

In deze les leer ik je alle handige tips & tricks om je portrettekening tot je recht te laten komen! We gaan kijken naar verhoudingen, detail, lichtinval en materiaalgebruik. Eventueel is les aan huis ook mogelijk als je alles gelijk in praktijk wil brengen! (omgeving Dokkum, binnen een straal van 15 km, benzinekosten worden wel gerekend)

With my lessons you will get the right tools and knowledge of the latest apps to get started right away and start creating your first illustration.
You also get a crash course in art history with the lessons.
I have 15 years of experience, and also graduated from Gerrit Rietveld since 2016.

These lessons are designed to develop drawing and painting skills. Not only will you be able to practice drawing and painting techniques under my guidance, you will also learn to express yourself and your creativity by experimenting with different materials, colours and textures. Together we will choose the subject and desired outcome of each lesson, so that you can develop your own style with my support.
I offer specialised lessons in portraiture and/or observational drawing.
Available in both English and Dutch :)

Always wanted to learn how to draw by hand?
I'll take you step-by-step through the art of drawing. We will work in Black & White with materials you can find at home. No experience needed or expensive materials.
We look at examples in art history and drawing techniques will be explained.
You will be working on different exercises and it will be fun.

Also for more experienced students, this is an excellent course: you will be surprised by what you can learn!

Module 1 = 10 classes (45 min)

I believe that everyone can draw. All it takes is to sit down, start, and keep practicing. I have taught myself to draw faces/portraits and that is why I am very enthusiastic about conveying my creative process to others, so that they can also get started with what they want to create.

I have developed my art and creative process throughout my life. After training at three different art academies, including Willem de Kooning in Rotterdam, I have now been working full-time as an artist for 8 years. I make my works with acrylic paint, but I still draw and sketch a lot on paper. My art style is a mix of spontaneous realism and abstract use of color, pop art and comic style.

Are you interested in being creative, even if you don't know how and/or whether you can do it yet? No problem. We will work together and you will find your way of drawing or painting.

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

Have a project in mind but are worried that you might have questions as you tackle it?

While YouTube is great resource, nothing beats a one on one session with someone who has been knitting and crocheting for a decade.

Suitable for all levels of fibre artists, I am here to guide you through whatever project you want to tackle. From the beginning middle or end, I am here to help everyone find their love for the fibre crafts.

For the past eight years, I’ve worked as a technician and tutor at the Royal College of Art and UAL, supporting students in fashion, fine art, and product design with their Rhino and Blender projects.

Before that, I worked as a model maker, and now I’m focused on teaching and creating fine art.

Blender.
I offer instruction in creating detailed static renderings, producing digital models ready for 3D printing, and understanding Blender’s workflows for a professional finish.

Rhino.
I'll help you navigate Rhino’s precision tools, preparing your designs for 3D printing and CNC production with an emphasis on detail and accuracy.

Skill Building:
I can guide you through both foundational and advanced techniques in Blender or Rhino, ensuring you develop a strong understanding of the software’s tools and workflows. We'll focus on the areas that best support your creative goals, whether you're looking to create detailed models for product design, render static images for fashion concepts, or develop sculptures for fine art.

Project Development:
If you're working on a specific project, I can support you at each stage—from initial concept and digital modeling to preparing files for 3D printing or CNC fabrication. We'll explore ways to optimize your designs and troubleshoot technical challenges, ensuring your final output aligns with your creative vision.

Everyone learns differently. That's why I teach the way you want. You decide what you want to learn and how, including when your lesson takes place and how long it lasts.

I teach art history to anyone who wants to, regardless of age or level, online or at my home in Velp. You can learn about, among other things, the visual arts, music and literature from prehistory to the present. You can work towards an exam/test/training or just learn out of interest. Whether it concerns Michelangelo's David or the graffiti on the walls of Dubai, I'll be happy to tell you about it. Anything is possible.

I trained as a musician/writer and teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in education and have taught art history, music history, creative writing, and other subjects to the upper grades of a small secondary school for several years, where I am also a team member. I write teaching materials that are used at various secondary and higher education schools. I have extensive experience with innovative teaching methods and one-on-one teaching.

If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Besides art history, you can also come to me for lessons in music theory, creative writing and mathematics.

Learn, Create, and Perform with Poppie-Joy

(SOON : LESSONS IN DUTCH)

With a background melting classical and contemporary clarinet performance, to theatrical movement, masks, and storytelling, I bring a fresh approach to music education. My experience includes leading creative workshops for children through the Philharmonie de Paris and developing artistic projects for young audiences.

In my classes, we explore sound as character, rhythm as movement, and performance as story.
For me, the body is the key to learning : I guide students to develop their body awareness as part of learning, an approach often missing from traditional lessons.

We will explore:

Clarinet technique
Musical interpretation
Improvisation and creativity exercises
Stage presence, movement, and breathing
Connecting music to visual or theatrical elements
Bonus (if possible and committed!) :programming small performances for families, social gatherings, or cultural events

My teaching philosophy: Music is not only notes on a page, it’s a living art that connects body, breath, and imagination. I meet each student where they are, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and authentic expression.

Open to all ages and levels, from beginners discovering their first notes to advanced players seeking to deepen their artistry.
