Over

Rose is an artist whose work focuses on legacy, cultural memory and imaginative storytelling through visual art. Inspired by Balkan history, dissident art movements and surreal creative traditions, she combines strong technical foundations with reflective artistic exploration. Outside of teaching and creating art, Rose loves walking her dog, exploring architecture, and sketching from everyday life, often in cafés or while visiting galleries. She enjoys researching history, folklore and cultural traditions, which frequently inspire both her artwork and the teaching she does. Rose especially loves quiet creative rituals like drawing in the morning, drinking tea, and observing landscapes and buildings for inspiration.

Is your hobby watching movies? Are you addicted to Netflix? What if you chose to study them outright? Trained in cinematographic analysis and aggregated in visual arts, I offer a course in the history of cinema. We will approach the main trends of cinematographic history compared with art history.

Art history and art appreciation

I will introduce you to the arts from the beginning of our civilization to contemporary art movements. In which establishing relationships between individual artists and social developments plays an important role.

We go to exhibitions where I teach you to look and analyze how the artist made his work and what he was doing and, if applicable, what he wanted to convey with his work.
The training in art appreciation is part of the lessons. What do you experience and recognize in the work of an artist and how does your interpretation fit into your cultural awareness. On request I will zoom in on specific artists.

We will also visit an artist in his studio and exchange ideas with him.

(not included are entrance fees to museums and transportation to and from)

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.

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)

I am a multidisciplinary artist and designer with fifteen years of experience. I studied art and architecture at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Columbia University in New York. I teach painting, drawing, digital image and creativity. This class is ideal for beginners but also intermediate students who want to develop their own style.

For my personal projects, I work in a wide range of mediums, from drawing, painting and printmaking to digital image and 3D Printing. When teaching, I prefer to first focus on free-hand drawing and painting as this allows for greater spontaneity regardless of the student's technical level. We later explore other methods based on the student's individual interests. I like to teach children and adults via mini projects involving art history references and help them develop narratives around their work. I deeply believe in people's creative potential and in my classes will help you channel your own voice.

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 :)

Doelgroepen:

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.

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.

I offer creative lessons tailored to your needs and preferences. These can cover drawing and painting techniques, but also other materials like clay or digital tools (think digital art on the iPad). Together, we'll explore your current level, what skills you'd like to learn, and establish a goal to guide the lesson content. Especially if you're saying, "Yes, but I'm not really that creative," or "Yes, but I'm not very good at drawing," I'd love to take on the challenge with you!
