I enjoy teaching and sharing skills with people who are interested in art at any level. I love to teach foundation skills as well as skills in navigating applications for art programs and portfolio building since I know this can be challenging.

I am also open to teaching classes that focus more closely on a specific type of drawing, or sculpture. Please feel free to send me a message if you are interested in something in particular.

Portfolio Development/Skill Building in Visual Art

43.16 $ /h

This class is an opportunity to begin to build an art portfolio, or to improve your portfolio and/or applications for art schools/universities.

My goal is to help students who are interested in improving artistic skills and/or to mentor students who are looking to get into an art program.

Depending on your needs, you'll learn a variety of techniques and skills from drawing basics, paintings, photography, color theory to portfolio building/strengthening, developing titles, captions and descriptions for your work, reviewing different applications for art universities or other opportunities, and more.

All levels of art experience are welcome!

Easy printmaking at home! Gelatin (or agar) Print-Making (3-class workshop)

43.16 $ /h

This class is for those interested in getting started in printmaking from their home!
Gelatin printing is a very fun, easy, non-toxic method to create beautiful and unique images. Gelatin is the traditional material for this method, but can be vegan using agar instead (you can state your preference).

A plate of gelatin is created which becomes the surface to hold the ink. Different objects, fabrics, utensils, shapes can be used to create patterns and images in the print.

This class can be done in a set of 3 1 hour classes (preferably 3 days in a row), but the class timing can be adapted and can be extended depending on the desire..

In the first class you will learn how to make the gelatin plate and care for it, and start to learn about different techniques.

The second class you will begin to print. You will learn how to use the gelatin plate and ink and will try a few different techniques and surfaces to print on.

In the third class you will learn some more advanced techniques and applications for the gelatin printing.

After this you'll be an expert and can print at home whenever you want!

For children, this class will need to be done in person, or if doing an online class will need the help of an adult to make the gelatin plate.

I am an artist specialized in making multisensorial interactive experiences. I graduated from Artscience at KABK in 2016 and I am very interested in how we perceive and respect our own nature and the universe we are part of. In my practice I use sunlight as my main medium.

I offer a fun program I developed for kids, where the main focus will be to explore creativity and the senses, learn about the 3 r's (Reuse, Reduce and Recycle) and make projects with things we find in small walks at the neighbourhood and parks, cook vegan food, and small guided meditations.

These are just some of the activities we'll be doing, and the classes will be personalized depending on each child's preference.

Classes can be given in English, Spanish or Italian.

If you are interested in having more information please contact me :)

All the best energies,

Natali

Hi! My name is Manuel and Im a Portuguese Classical Saxophone player studying here in Den Haag.
My lessons are suitable for all ages and levels.
Teaching has been a big dream of mine for some years now and I've finally decided to pursue it.
I look forward to be able to transmit the knowledge I've gathered over the years as well as to spark in my students the love for this amazing instrument that is the Saxophone.

See you!

Hello! My name is Luz. I am a singer, and I teach singing using the Rabine Method and the Alexander Technique. The Rabine Method is a vocal technique and pedagogy, and the Alexander Technique is a method developed to improve posture and the way we use our bodies.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE VOICE:

Singing has been a lifelong passion for me, but I used to be quite shy and introverted. I was afraid to sing in front of others, even though a part of me longed to do so. At the age of 15, I began taking singing lessons to create a safe space for myself to sing, where only my teacher would listen. Slowly, I started performing live and began to truly enjoy it. However, over time, I encountered difficulties with my vocal technique, and my enjoyment of singing faded. After an extensive search for the right teachers to help me overcome these challenges, I discovered the Alexander Technique and the Rabine Method. That's when my journey towards progress and joy truly began.

ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE AND THE RABINE METHOD:

The Alexander Technique teaches people how to reduce general body tension and move in harmony with their body's mechanics, paying close attention to the spine and joints. Within just three months of weekly lessons, I noticed improvements in both my posture and my voice. I came to understand that the vocal system is intricately connected to the entire body, and singing could be a harmonious experience for both my mind and my body. This newfound joy inspired me to help others in the same way, leading me to become an Alexander Technique teacher.

Around the same time, I also discovered the Rabine Method, an exceptional vocal technique with a profound understanding of the phonatory system and a clear pedagogical approach that caters to individual student needs. It is centered on recognizing the unique learning process of each student and determining what they are ready to absorb.

Through my lessons, my goal is to transmit the joy and happiness that singing can bring. I hope my students will learn to focus on the learning process and be surprised by the results. My teaching approach doesn't solely prioritize outcomes; it values the joy of the journey to get there. I firmly believe that everyone can sing because we all possess the same vocal system. The key lies in training and developing awareness of our current abilities so that we can work with what we bring to each lesson.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH STUDENTS:

I have worked with a diverse range of students, including those who:

- Initially struggled to sing in tune but made great improvements in less than a year.
- Were once extremely shy and introverted but experienced a boost in confidence and joy while singing in front of me.
- Were musicians with their own bands but lacked knowledge on how to care for their vocal cords during performances.
- Simply needed a supportive space to unleash their expressiveness and relish their voices.
- Had unpleasant experiences with previous teachers who crashed their confidence.
- Didn ́t like their own sound due to a disorganized technique
