At the start of the youth album of your choice (you know, the one she / he constantly asks you to reread to her "by making the voices"), I will make a reading of it told in front of her / him then we will realize together a plastic realization from this story!

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.

Imagine yourself holding a pencil or paintbrush, sitting in front of a blank sheet of paper, ready to explore the world of art and realize your creativity by correctly drawing the four facial features. If you aspire to become a skilled face artist, this engaging tutorial is exactly what you need.

This course is specifically designed for those who want to acquire the basic skills for drawing facial features professionally. You will discover the magic of art and learn the essential fundamentals for drawing and rendering eyes, noses, mouths, and ears with precision and artistic flair. This educational journey will be an exciting exploration of fine details and advanced techniques that will help you achieve stunning drawings.

Objectives:

- Acquire the skills necessary to draw the four facial features correctly and professionally.
- Understand the details of the structure and anatomy of the eye, nose, mouth and ear.
- Developing the ability to focus and observe details accurately in drawing the face.
- Ability to use appropriate techniques for light, shadows, and hollows in the face.
- Achieving balance and harmony in drawing facial features and maintaining correct proportions.

Axes:

The educational course in your hands is 59 minutes long and divided into 12 lessons as follows:

In the first lesson, we will quickly review the parts that make up the eye. You will also learn how and where to place the eye in its appropriate place in the facial space. You will also learn about the relationship between the eyelid and the eye and how to draw the eyelid correctly and in a three-dimensional manner.
In the second lesson, we will review the parts of the eye in detail, or more precisely, a detailed explanation of the anatomy of the eye. You will also learn how to form the eyebrows and eyelashes correctly.
In the third lesson, we will begin the practical part. Through five specific steps, you will learn how to draw an eye correctly, from the first planning stage until reaching the final details.
In the fourth lesson, we will begin explaining the nose. You will learn how to place the nose in a cube shape and what the purpose behind that is. You will also learn how the shape of the nose changes with the movement of the human head and the angle from which we view the nose.
In the fifth lesson, you will learn in detail how to dissect the nose and the parts that make it up. The importance of this is that your knowledge of anatomy strengthens your vision and perception of details that actually exist and almost protrude from under the skin.
In Lesson 6, you will learn how to divide the nose into small surfaces. This is because the nose is a complex shape, and it is important to train your eyes to simplify the shape of the nose while drawing it.
In the seventh lesson, we will begin the practical part. Through five specific steps, you will learn how to draw a nose correctly, from the first planning stage until reaching the final details.
In Lesson 8, you will learn how to build the basic shapes of the mouth. You will also learn anatomically what muscles form the mouth area and help us control lip movement.
In Lesson 9, you will learn what parts make up the mouth from the outside and the area surrounding it. You will also learn how to see the roundness of the mouth, the overlapping lines of the lips, and many other details.
In the tenth lesson, we will begin the practical part. Through five specific steps, you will learn how to draw a mouth correctly, from the first planning stage until reaching the final details stage.
In the eleventh lesson, you will learn all the details related to the ear, such as its relationship to the head from all directions and the parts that make up the ear. You will also learn a nice trick to simplify the internal details of the ear, which many artists consider complex and difficult. You will also learn the relationship of light and shadow to these details so that they are easy to draw.
In the twelfth and final lesson, we will begin the practical part. Through five specific steps, you will learn how to draw the ear correctly, from the first planning stage until reaching the final details.

I am waiting for you with great enthusiasm so that we can start this enjoyable educational journey together.

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 colored pencil workshop guides students from concept to finished drawing. We explore ideation and visual research, develop strong compositions through sketch mapping, and apply color theory to create depth and harmony with layered pencil techniques. Students practice rendering realistic objects, plants, animals, and human figures with attention to light, texture, and fine detail.
