These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting.

Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive.

The objective of this training is to be able to:

- Analyze and dissect a text
- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity

(...)

Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
- As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

THE TRAINER
From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.

My name is Dominique, I am a qualified teacher in visual and plastic arts and a Doctor in Art History. Art in its many forms is a passion for me and I am delighted to share this passion online or in person with you.
I have 20 years of experience in the field of plastic and visual arts, having taught this subject for more than twenty years and having trained students in university artistic studies. I also have a Doctorate in Art History from the Montpellier Academy and I have a cutting, sewing and pattern making certificate and a French Foreign Language (FLE) diploma.
I consider that theory and artistic practice nourish each other. Over the years, I have worked with students of different levels and witnessed their artistic progress which represents a constant source of inspiration.
My main goal is to create a learning environment where you will feel encouraged to express your creativity, explore new techniques and develop your own style. My experience has shown that each student has a unique potential that deserves to be developed. I firmly believe that art is a form of personal communication and I am here to guide you on this journey. We will work with mediums such as painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, but also collage, monoprint and much more. You will also have the opportunity to study and appreciate the works of famous artists, while developing your own projects.

Drawing courses with a unique approach. You'll be amazed at how quickly you level up!

For over 10 years, I have been developing a method that allows my students to learn observational drawing at record speed. Through pictorial and observational exercises, my students become adept at drawing *any and all* observational subjects in:
4 months with 1 day/wk classes at 4 hrs/day
2 weeks at 6 days/wk classes at 6 hrs/day

.

Please choose one of the two courses:

>> OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING (B/W): If you don't know how to draw, pick this one. If you "know how to draw except for" portraits/perspective/etc, this is the best program for you too. (details below)

>> COLOR OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING: If you can draw anything from observation, but want to understand how color works, pick this one. If your goal is to make oil paintings and you already know how to draw, this is your program too. (details below)

.

>> OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING (black/white) <<
For those who want to learn drawing or those who want to improve their drawing skills quickly

*Observational Drawing Topics*:
Line quality
Drawing the hand
Using negative space in drawing and in composition

Shading methods
Drawing perspective
Drawing with light
Composing with light
Drawing the interior
Drawing the face, proportions
Drawing light and shadow
Portraiture
Materials used: Graphite, Charcoal, Markers/India ink, paper

Since this is a technique class, I recommend that you take at least 4 hours/week to be able to experience your improvement class by class. If you wish to take less hours, please note that with a 2 hours/day course, you will complete the program in 10-12 months, which will be caused by not gaining enough momentum during class time.

>> COLOR OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING <<
For those who want to learn color in representational art. Become skillful at using color in your works.

*Color Observational Drawing Topics*:
Basic color theory
Interrelationship of colors
Mixing colors

Remember the goal - you want to make good art.
A good critique will give you new insight, new direction, career advice and energy to do this!

Where am I going with this? Too much or not enough?
Learn to define your position, your place and your market.

I will offer perspective on your strengths and constructive feedback on what needs to be improved. There are ways to inspire what is working and how to improve your weaker points that builds confidence, technique and style.

Editing is key - colour, form, aesthetic, emotion, influence and pace. I can help you understand exciting trends in Contemporary Art and that relevance to Art History. I will provide you with the resources to dig deeper and show you your next steps. At the end of the critique you will feel equipped and excited to get to work.

Get ready for creativity, giggles, and a whole lot of colorful mess! I’m starting a super fun arts & crafts class just for kids where imagination runs wild and every project feels like an adventure. We’ll paint, glue, cut, sprinkle glitter, and turn everyday ideas into awesome creations kids will be excited to show off.

This class is all about exploring, trying new things, building confidence, and having FUN while we create. No pressure to be “perfect,” just a welcoming space where little artists can express themselves, make friends, and leave with big smiles (and maybe a little paint on their sleeves 🤭).

This watercolor botanicals class focuses on observing and painting plants with precision and expression. Students learn foundational watercolor techniques including wet on wet, layering, and controlled brushwork to capture delicate textures and natural color variation. The course covers composition planning, color mixing, and understanding light to create depth and realism in leaves, flowers, and stems.

Ceramic is a natural and ancient material. Connect with the pleasure of clay modeling and shape utilitarian pieces such as bowls and vases, accessories or characters and countless decorative figures.
I am a professional illustrator with more than 15 years of experience and ceramics have captivated me. I tooked classes with the artist Lusesita (Laura Lasheras) and then continued self-taught.
We will go at your pace and you will walk your own path. Mud is for all ages and times. The frequency of classes is once a week, one hour, an hour and a half or two hours. If you need more frequent or intensive classes, please don't hesitate to ask.
I recommend the one-hour in-person class for the little ones, an hour and a half for when they grow up, and the two-hour class for adults, to go without rushing. If it is online, in both cases I recommend an hour or an hour and a half.
