Learn How to Create with Dissident Art & Creative Expression: Skills, History & Identity

Von 24.33 Fr /Std

This class combines practical art skills with inspiring art history and cultural storytelling.

Students will learn essential creative techniques including drawing in an imaginary way the human body and face, colour theory, and expressive mark making. Alongside technical training, we will explore influential artists and artistic movements, with a focus on themes such as legacy, identity, Balkan history, post-Soviet and dissident art traditions.

Über mich

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.

The freedom of creativity is the most attractive way of self expression. However, to achieve the mastery to utilise consciously and productively this freedom, with both joy and confidence, with value and satisfaction, you need to have the 'tools' and attain certain skills to guide, facilitate, and uncover your potential. A grate achievement could not be done without breaking the rules, but to break the rules convincingly and doubtlessly, you first need to learn, acknowledge, and understand their natural laws and traditions.
Therefore, I am inviting to my tutorial classes, where online or in person, on beginner or advanced level, you will meet and learn the basic and most important skills of Drawing and Painting systematically through observation and references. You will practice and experiment to fully master a medium or a technique, will support your practice with Art and Colour theory, Perspective, and History of Art, in order to start easily drawing yourself, interpreting a favourite scene or a subject on a paper or canvas, and will create you diverse and appealing collection of artworks with attention, imagination, and excitement.

Painting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork.

From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.

Are you willing to learn drawing or painting? Do you wish to improve what you already know?

I graduated from an art school where I learned all the important classical techniques of drawing, painting and sculpture. I would like to pass on the knowledge I have acquired through my studies and practice and give those who so wish the opportunity to go on a journey into the world of art and improve their language and technique.
The lessons are open to all levels.

The techniques covered range from drawing with pencil, charcoal and pastel chalk to all painting styles (watercolor, oil, acrylic, tempera). You have the opportunity to experiment on different types of paper (with different weights and colors) and canvases.

The topics change from lesson to lesson and can range from the human body to the landscape to the wildlife, depending on your preferences and desires.

Particular attention is paid to the method so that the finished work is clean, pleasant and as expressive as possible.

Crochet is a handicraft through which you can create many wonderful masterpieces, using a needle, thread and a set of rules that I will teach you.
These rules are easy and simple, they need you to focus and a lot of practice.
Crochet helps control anxiety, clears your mind and opens doors to a world full of geometric and color creations.

My name is Anita, and I am a neurodivergent interdisciplinary artist.

I combine traditional and unconventional teaching methods with an innovative approach, adapted to the fast-paced era we live in, where attention spans can be short. My teaching integrates principles of psychology to better understand each student’s unique needs and aspirations.

My goal is to nurture visionary children who have strong foundational values and a humble sense of self. I believe that true artistic mastery comes from human excellence. Also, in this way, students develop true self-confidence by evaluating their success based on personal progress rather than comparing themselves to others.

This course is especially recommended for neurodivergent children (with Autism Level 1 - Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Hypersensitivity, and Anxiety) with multiple interests who struggle to choose, focus on, and manage various subjects. It helps develop both technique and discipline, enabling them to navigate multiple creative fields—essentially putting their eggs in several baskets while honing the skills necessary for diverse career opportunities in an uncertain job market.

The program encourages a generalist mindset, promoting versatility without compromising creative integrity. Students will learn to refine their Zoom In/Zoom Out perspective, gaining the ability to see both the bigger picture and the finer details of any subject. The program's structure guides the individuals through three essential phases:

Exploration Phase–Presentations, visual games, and foundational lessons introduce students to various disciplines, helping them discover their interests.
Development Phase–They start defining their creative goals, practicing their skills, and trying out various artistic approaches.
Mastery Phase - With a clear direction, students focus on long-term goals, whether as brand-focused professionals, university students, or future educators.

Disciplines covered include architecture, painting, illustration, concept design (especially for gaming), traditional animation, digital art, children's book illustration, film, creative writing, and music (the art of songwriting).

A Purposeful, Transparent Approach

I work closely with each student, providing honest yet supportive evaluations to help identify their strengths. My goal is to guide serious and passionate learners and not to mislead families into unnecessary expenses. I strive to be straightforward in a respectful and encouraging manner, communicating if a child may not be suited for this path.

A Valuable Investment in Thinking & Creativity

Even if a student ultimately chooses a non-artistic career, this course fosters critical and creative thinking, which are essential skills for any field. The knowledge gained here is never wasted; it’s an investment in adaptability, innovation, and problem-solving abilities that transcend the arts.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Course & Workshop – Studio Art & Theory Sessions (60–180 min)

■ First Session – A Complimentary Introduction

The first session offers an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a collaborative relationship.

■ Online classes

They will primarily focus on theory and presentation or homework/portfolio reviews. Each session lasts 30-40 minutes, followed by 15-20 minutes for questions and answers. These sessions are recorded, allowing students to revisit the content whenever they wish, ensuring long-term access to valuable insights. Throughout the course, we track progress, examining both strengths and areas for growth.

■ Progress Evaluation and Personalized Feedback

• Monthly Evaluation Files
An evaluation file will be provided each month, summarizing the child’s progress, highlighting what they have learned, and identifying areas to improve. This file is printed, and the child will need a designated folder to store these evaluations.

• Personality Profiling
A personalized profile will be created for each student, outlining their traits, preferences, and potential areas for exploration. Together, we will set small, temporary goals to work toward a larger, more defined purpose. This profile will be revisited and updated annually to reflect the student's growth and changing needs during their developmental phase.

■ Parent Support Program

A structured, phased program is designed specifically for parents, with regular updates (every 3 months) that outline:

• Exploration Phase: Discovering interests and potentials.
• Clarification Phase: Understanding immediate goals for the upcoming weeks.
• Commitment Phase: Focusing on long-term pursuits over several months. This modular approach ensures that the program evolves with the child’s development without overwhelming families with an all-at-once structure.

■ Rewards and Additional Activities

Students earn symbolic rewards for their achievements, reflecting various aspects of their learning journey. Additionally, upon mutual agreement, I can offer post-session baking workshops (or on weekends) with healthy recipes and customized meal options (taking into account specific dietary needs or intolerances), reinforcing the importance of self-care and nutrition.

■ Homework and Scheduling

Homework will be personalized to fit the student’s schedule, considering both school and extracurricular activities, as well as their personal productivity style. Some of them may be more analytical and observant, while others are naturally more productive. I believe that productivity can bloom at any stage, and my goal is to avoid a “factory mindset.” Reflective moments are as crucial as those focused on tangible output.

■ Recommendations

I offer customized recommendations for books, movies, documentaries, artists, and art styles, ensuring that each resource is tailored to the student's personal interests and developmental stage to maximize engagement and understanding.

■ Introducing Rhetorics and Dialectics (friendly definitions for complex topics - included in Commitment Phase)

Rhetorics, particularly oratory, along with dialectics (the art of argumentation), are essential tools for expressing ideas clearly and persuasively. These skills are important not only in speech and writing but also in visual arts. They help create overall coherence by ensuring that every element of a project—whether it’s a painting, sculpture, or multimedia presentation—conveys a well-structured message.

■ Special Focus: Empowering Neurodiverse Learners

In my teaching practice, I place a strong emphasis on engaging neurodiverse children through a range of visual and auditory games that stimulate multiple areas of intelligence. These activities include:

• Pattern Recognition: Exercises that encourage students to identify and predict patterns, sharpening their analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Visual and Auditory Memory Games: Interactive tasks designed to boost both visual and auditory memory, ensuring that information is effectively retained.
• Synesthetic Activities: Creative exercises that blend sensory experiences—such as pairing colors with sounds—to enhance perceptual awareness.
• Multiple Intelligences: Tailored tasks that address various types of intelligence, including spatial, logical, musical, kinesthetic, and interpersonal skills.

■ A Personal Touch on Wellbeing

Understanding the importance of nutrition, I offer healthy, ready-to-eat meals for students who might miss a meal before or after school. Drawing from my experiences with nutritional challenges during adolescence, I know how important it is to support overall well-being. This small gesture is part of my commitment to care for the whole individual—mind, body, and spirit—ensuring no one is left hungry while pursuing their creative and academic goals.

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!

I teach digital painting with a focus on clarity, structure, and outcome. You’ll learn how to control digital brushes, build convincing lighting, use color intentionally, and create textures that add depth. We’ll move from the basics of composition to the challenges of designing characters, surreal environments, and expressive scenes.

By the end, you’ll produce portfolio-ready artworks and understand a professional workflow from sketch to finish. Each session combines hands-on exercises with discussion of artistic choices, so you strengthen both technical skill and creative judgment.

This course is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to go beyond tutorials and actually build a body of polished, original work.

I offer sustainable and individually tailored tutoring in music theory, music history, and art history. Thanks to my many years of experience teaching students of all ages and learning levels, as well as a wide range of personalities, I know how to convey material in an understandable, motivating, and structured way.
As a doctoral student with a solid background in religious and Buddhist studies, I quickly recognize where support in understanding is needed and respond specifically and sensitively to the needs of each student.
Whether it's tutoring, exam preparation, proofreading, or academic enrichment for adults—my teaching not only promotes knowledge, but also the joy of learning and sustainable competencies in religious studies.

The workshop teaches participants how to create selfmade painting and drawing materials from natural pigments and colours (vegetables, plants, soils etc.) and different painting and drawing techniques with these natural colors (watercolour, oil painting, crayon drawing etc.). The workshop has two parts: First, we will experiment together with different ways to craft our own colours from natural ingredients. Then, artworks on paper or canvas will be created.
