You'll learn how to integrate your creative projects into your schedule in a way that's not only fun but also highly productive, ensuring you don't deplete your energy levels by 5 pm. Get ready to be engaged and excited about your creative journey!

Présentation

Hi, I’m Caroline, a sophomore at SUNY Old Westbury, deeply passionate about creativity. I'm a double-major in English and Visual Arts, with minors in Visual Arts and Media & Design, and I'm currently working on a microcredential in the Foundations of Creative Writing. As an illustrator, writer, editor, photographer, and videographer, I thrive on adding creativity in unexpected places.

Significant milestones have marked my journey in the creative arts. I have honed my skills in photography and photo editing, working with a range of tools, from phones to DSLR cameras, and platforms such as Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. The recognition from the Huntington Camera Club for my past work is a testament to my dedication. I also bring extensive experience in writing and illustration, with a current project of writing my first book.

My mission as a teacher on this platform is not just to impart knowledge, but to foster a community of creativity. I aim to share my creative knowledge with others and to inspire more human creativity in a world where automation is on the rise. Let's come together and share our creativity. :)

The Basics Of Smartphone Photography: Make Your Pictures Smarter

27.2 C$ /h

Photography is essential in our day-to-day lives, especially given that we have a camera in our pockets at all times. From capturing significant events, photos of yourself, or even taking pictures of delicious coffees you order. It is essential nowadays that you can take clean, crisp images on your very own smartphone. I've created this course to help you create professional-looking photos, all taken and edited on your phones.

You'll learn how to take pictures at certain angles, the different modes you can use on your phone to take photos, the various kinds of photography you can achieve, and how to edit high-quality images, all with the default apps.

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.

Also, I had the opportunity to dance for haute couture houses during Fashion Week in Paris.

Are you an art student tasked with writing a research-creation thesis and unsure where to begin? Are you struggling to develop your plan? Are you encountering obstacles in structuring and developing your ideas? Are you finding it difficult to connect your practical issues (artistic approach) with theoretical concepts? Finally, are you facing methodological challenges?

By using the Constellation Model that I had designed for research-creation, I bring you to explain your intentions and your motivations to the point of exceeding them. By becoming aware of your spontaneous mental and semantic associations, you will gradually be able to build a personal methodology which starts from your artistic practice and which corresponds to both your sensitivity and your cognitive imprint.

I also support you in nurturing a sensitive relationship to your own work, but all the same methodical and critical

The support includes:
- Exercises in mental/semantic associations (how to produce creative and meaningful syntheses?).
- Explanation exercises of your identified conscious intentions and motivations. (mindfulness and theoretical contributions)
- Help in articulating concepts while starting from your artistic approach.
- An introduction to aesthetic and technical retrospective analysis techniques.
- Writing assistance
- and on request, an introduction to textual analysis techniques.

This course is aimed at any artist or student engaged in research-creation and in the preparation of a Master's thesis, in pre-doctoral preparation or in doctoral studies.

Being trilingual Arabic / French / English, the language spoken during the accompaniment will be the one you choose.

Areas of expertise:

|visual arts
| arts and new media, digital arts
| practice & theory of contemporary art
| aesthetics & art history
|research-creation methodology

Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 12 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

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 :)
