Fine Art, History of Art and Creative Play lessons

From 27.31 € /h

Fine Art can be a confusing, and often inaccessible subject. However, creating and engaging with art can also be empowering once you have the understanding of contemporary art practises. It is my intention to engage both children and adults in creative play, and discussion, to create exciting lessons.
Lessons will often be tailored towards the individual's interests, linking them to relevant artists and artistic practises. A wide range of materials and processes will be explored in the lessons, including painting, drawing, sculpture and digital art, allowing students to find their strengths.
As a Fine Art and History of Art graduate it truly is my passion to ignite, distill, and grow a person's interests in Art, Design and Art History. I have experience in creating and teaching lessons for students of all ages, from 4 years of age up to adults.
I also have experience tutoring GCSE and A-level students in the trickier aspects of a Fine Art qualification, where jumping through the hoops and tick the boxes that the exam boards require can often take the joy out of creating. My aim is to help students get the grade that truly reflects their engagement and enthusiasm for art, guiding them through the certain requirements that can often feel confusing or frustrating.
Whatever level of understanding and ability the student may have, these lessons will be challenging, creative and rewarding.

Hello,
I hope you are well.

If any of you would like to bring more art into your life, let me know. Relaxed, one to one drawing/painting sessions (depending on your level of experience) based on Right Brain Hemisphere techniques which enable everyone to simply relax and draw/paint.

I have teaching experience (courses, workshops, private lessons) from London, Belgium and Czech Republic. Also, can assist with preparation for GCSE in Art.
If you would like to know more, please get in touch.

I am very looking forward to hear from you.

Step-by-step workshop to create a beautiful animal illustration which will teach your child skills in line pressure, shading, toning, texturising and surface pattern design.

I will demonstrate and guide your child through the drawing process, starting with line pressure and applying simple geometric shapes and intricate patterns and textures to create their own animal illustration.

In these lessons / course I will introduce you to the basics of traditional clay modelling. Starting from understanding proportions, measuring 3-dimensional objects and building a strong armature using wood and wire to carefully examining and transferring the shapes of the model into your own clay reproduction.

Michelangelo, Bernini and Rodin have been studying the sculptures of their predecessors the same way and have been a great influence on my own work, and that is why I want to pass this knowledge on.

In these lessons, you will also acquire some knowledge of the use of power-tools necessary to make the armatures.

Welcome to "A Realistic Sketching Course You Can Start with Just One Pencil"! This course is designed for artists of all levels who are eager to develop their realistic drawing skills using minimal supplies. With just a single pencil, you'll learn essential techniques to create detailed and lifelike sketches. Our lessons cover fundamental principles such as shading, perspective, and texture, enabling you to transform simple lines into stunning, realistic artwork. Join us and discover the incredible potential of your creativity, starting with the basics and building towards mastery.

Fashion is self expression in my class you will learn how to design, drawing garments and patterns. And how to stitch/sew them. Along with learning how to construct props. This can be used for cosplay or just fashion in general

You will need, art supplies, fabrics and a sewing machine.

- I study interior design at university. I have experience in drawing and painting as I received a 6 in GCSE and an A in A level Fine Art. Till to this day I continue to draw and paint whenever I have some free time.
- I will demonstrate the process of drawing and painting anything which the student want to learn. From realism to an impressionist style.
- I will make the student leave having better art creating knowledge

To succeed in Fine Art, we need to open our ways of thinking. Oftentimes, we can feel stuck, lost or uninspired. In this class, I will teach you how to move forward in these moments; how to produce a healthy momentum in yourself to find excitement in your projects and push through them to the finishing point.

Fine Art is unlike any subject in that it really comes from the individual. There is no "right way", but if there is no discernible path, where do we go? I can show you how to tap into your inner artist and create and move through projects with a self-direction that will build your confidence, ignite passion and open unlimited ways to express yourself regardless of technical ability.

Is there a project you are currently working on that you are stuck with? Are you feeling uninspired in your art journey and want some new life injected into it? Is your confidence in your abilities low? Do you feel you are wasting your time with art but you really love it when you are doing it? Are you studying and repeatedly getting similar feedback/marks but are unsure how to take it to the next level? I can help you.

What is a live performance mentor?

A live performance mentor supports theatremakers and live performance artists in the realisation of their vision, assessing all aspects of your performance and guiding you to make original and intelligent decisions in your work.

Why are live performance mentors useful?

Having deeply researched a vast range of performance styles, techniques and training types, a live performance mentor is aware of current and historical trends and methodologies within the industry and can inspire your creativity and maintain accuracy and artistic integrity in your performances.

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.

Art is a means of expression for the mind. Through art, we are able to start to realise our dreams, imaginations and visions.

During this class, you will be guided on how to develop ideas into tangible objects which then aids you in communicating your dreams, imaginations and visions. The class also empowers you to be daring in your approaches through inviting you to test media, approaches and techniques.

I’m a passionate artist with a background in architecture, specializing in teaching drawing, sketching, and painting. My lessons combine technical skills like perspective and composition with creative exploration, tailored to each student’s style and goals. I aim to inspire confidence and creativity, helping learners unlock their full artistic potential.

Being able to bring into existence a beautiful art piece the exact way you perceive it is an exceptional feat. I specialise in the realm of realism and surrealism - and I would like to help others do the same.

In my classes, you will learn the basics of sketching realistic features of people, animals and locations. Building realism through different mediums and techniques, regardless of what level you are in this class will help you reach your realism ideals. No previous experience required, these classes are for anyone with personal artistic goals.

I am an oil pastel lover who turns to this medium again and again — when I’m happy, tired, bored, overwhelmed, or simply longing to be surrounded by colour. Oil pastels have accompanied me through many moments of life, always offering comfort, freedom, and expression.

Every time I paint with oil pastels, I find a sense of relaxation and inner peace — something increasingly precious in our fast-paced world.

Oil pastels are, to me, a truly magical material. They can be firm or soft, bold or delicate, layered or blended. With just your hands and simple tools, they invite both control and spontaneity, making them perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike.

In an age where AI can generate endless images, I believe deeply in preserving the human act of creation — the joy of touching materials, playing with colour, and allowing emotions to flow through the hands. Painting is not just about making images; it is about reconnecting with ourselves.

I believe everyone has the ability to create art. Everyone has their own sense of colour, rhythm, and expression.

**** What you will learn in this class ****
🖼️ Essential oil pastel techniques (layering, blending, texture, and composition)

🎨 Colour combinations and how to develop your own colour language

🖌️ Creative approaches to painting freely and intuitively

🧘 How to use painting and colour as a tool for relaxation, emotional release, and self-care

This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate learners. No prior art experience is required — only curiosity and openness!

**** Materials ****
In-person sessions: All materials are provided, including oil pastels, paper, masking tape, and palette knives. Just bring yourself.
Online sessions: Materials are not provided, but I will guide you in advance on what to prepare and how to use simple and accessible supplies.

In our sessions, we don’t just paint — we explore, connect, and gently listen to our inner world.

I look forward to sharing this colourful, calming, and meaningful journey with you!
