About Me

Hello there! I'm Kat, I'm a fibre artist, which is a very official way to say I spend my days knitting. I first learned to knit when I was 8 and haven't stopped since. Knitting is an incredible hobby as it caters to a diversity of needs, skills, and artisitic vision. I love sharing my unique take on knitting with students and encouraging everyone to try their hand at something new.

Education

I attended the University of Kent for my postgrad, where I obtained an MSc. For my undergrad, I attended Florida University, where I obtained a BS in Psychology with a minor in Arts.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been knitting for over twenty years, and have spent the last decade in classrooms working with children and adults across a variety of needs (both physical and mental) to help them identify hobbies and activities they enjoy while promoting educational outcomes. For the past two years, during my master's, I have focused exclusively on teaching knitting.

Colorimetry: the color theory necessary for visual artists and makeup artists
Colorimetry is a fundamental tool to begin to understand the behavior of colors, where they come from, and how to obtain them. We will see the color wheel, primary and secondary colors, and how to apply them to create different types of palettes. In turn, we will see the triads of colors to generate cold and warm palettes, and you will experience first-hand how to create those colors. We will also have a brief part of research into pigments (the source of color) and works of art throughout history, to see the use of different painting techniques. Since we are going to focus in our classes on color theory, it is not strictly necessary that you know how to draw or paint, or that you have knowledge of perspective or others. This course is designed to complement your knowledge of art and improve your ability to choose the colors and palette you want to work with. As a bonus, this course will also help you apply your knowledge when applying makeup or applying makeup, since if it is something that interests you, let me know and we will incorporate it into the course. We will see how to apply colors according to the person's eye color and skin tones. I have a degree in Visual Arts with a Painting orientation from the National University of the Arts of Argentina and a theatrical makeup artist at the Theater Complex of the City of Buenos Aires and I am happy to be able to share my knowledge with you. If this is what you were looking for, welcome and I hope we start a very nice working relationship! See you in class, Camila.
