I hold a degree in Illustration and Visual Media, and creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do. Teaching is one of my greatest passions. I love working with students of all ages, from young learners to adults, and I’m constantly inspired by the excitement that comes from discovering something new.

In my classes, we explore Art, Digital Art, and Art History dynamically and engagingly.
Lessons are hands-on, visually rich, and designed to make complex ideas more accessible.
I use a wide range of examples, visual maps, and interactive exercises to support different learning styles, especially helpful for visual learners and students with DSA.

Thanks to my background as a graphic designer, I bring practical, real-world experience to the classroom.
I teach using professional tools like Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Canva, helping students not only understand artistic theory but also build valuable digital skills used in the industry today.

Here’s what my students benefit from:

A clear understanding of design workflows: from concept to final layout

A trained eye for composition, colour, typography, and visual balance

Creative exercises that encourage personal expression and experimentation

Guidance through design challenges using practical problem-solving

Real project experience with tips, tools, and insights beyond textbooks

I’m a patient and approachable teacher who believes in building a relationship based on trust, open communication, and creative freedom. My goal is to create a safe and inspiring space where students feel confident to express themselves, ask questions, and grow.

I studied History through high school, gaining knowledge of major eras (Ancient, Medieval, Modern), key events, historical figures, and the causes and consequences of events. I also developed skills in analysing sources and understanding how the past influences the present.

I use visual maps often to help students see spatial relationships and context, making history more concrete and memorable. I teach students of all ages, from children through to adults, and I always ensure that I provide summaries at the end of lessons so that key points are clear and retained. Throughout the class, I ask questions to students to check that they have understood the material and to promote active participation.

I studied Geography through high school: I gained knowledge of both physical and human geography, landforms, climate, population, migration, environment, and learned to analyse how places change over time and how humans interact with the environment. I have also developed skills in using maps, interpreting data, and making connections between what we see in the world and what we learn in class.

I teach students of all ages—from young children to adults—and I believe in making geography engaging and relevant. I use visual maps often to help students see spatial relationships and understand contexts more clearly. At the end of lessons, I do summaries, and I regularly ask questions to ensure students have really understood the material.

Because of my graphic design experience, I bring practical skills into geography lessons: using tools like Canva for creating visual maps and layout activities; and helping students work with design thinking so their geographic work is clear, clean, and visually effective. I aim not only to teach content but also to build confidence in interpreting maps, analysing places, and expressing ideas. I am patient, transparent, and committed to creating a trusting relationship with students so that learning happens in a safe, inspiring space.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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!

Learn, Create, and Perform with Poppie-Joy

(SOON : LESSONS IN DUTCH)

With a background melting classical and contemporary clarinet performance, to theatrical movement, masks, and storytelling, I bring a fresh approach to music education. My experience includes leading creative workshops for children through the Philharmonie de Paris and developing artistic projects for young audiences.

In my classes, we explore sound as character, rhythm as movement, and performance as story.
For me, the body is the key to learning : I guide students to develop their body awareness as part of learning, an approach often missing from traditional lessons.

We will explore:

Clarinet technique
Musical interpretation
Improvisation and creativity exercises
Stage presence, movement, and breathing
Connecting music to visual or theatrical elements
Bonus (if possible and committed!) :programming small performances for families, social gatherings, or cultural events

My teaching philosophy: Music is not only notes on a page, it’s a living art that connects body, breath, and imagination. I meet each student where they are, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and authentic expression.

Open to all ages and levels, from beginners discovering their first notes to advanced players seeking to deepen their artistry.

⚙️ Step 1: Understand What AI Actually Is
AI isn’t magic — it’s just pattern recognition on steroids. It learns from data, spots trends faster than humans, and automates decisions.
There are three main flavors you’ll be dealing with:
Machine Learning (ML) – Think “training” an AI to make predictions. (Used in trading bots, recommendations, etc.)
Generative AI – Like ChatGPT or Midjourney; it creates text, code, or images.
Automation AI – Uses rules + ML to perform actions automatically (Zapier, n8n, AutoGPT, etc.).
💸 Step 2: Using AI in Trading
AI trading isn’t new — hedge funds have been doing it for decades. But now you can do it too.
Here’s the stack you’d look at:
Data Source – Pull data from APIs (like Binance, Alpha Vantage, or Polygon.io).
Model – Use AI to find signals. Common tools:
Python + TensorFlow/PyTorch → train models that predict price movement.
GPTs → analyze news sentiment.
Execution – Automate trades using APIs (like Binance or Alpaca).
Testing – Backtest with historical data before going live.
If you want plug-and-play options, try:
Koyfin, TrendSpider, or Trade-Ideas for AI-driven analysis.
Composer or Stoic.ai if you want “autopilot” portfolios.
(Pro tip: the real edge isn’t in fancy models — it’s in feeding your AI clean, unique data.)
📱 Step 3: Using AI to Build Apps
This is where things get fun. You don’t even need to code hardcore anymore.
No-code builders: Glide, Bubble, or Adalo → use AI APIs like OpenAI, HuggingFace, or Replicate to add brains.
AI dev tools: Replit Ghostwriter, GitHub Copilot, or ChatGPT’s code interpreter to write real code fast.
Frameworks (if coding):
Python/Flask or FastAPI for backend.
React or Next.js for frontend.
Firebase or Supabase for hosting & data.
Hook it all together with AI APIs (like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Stability AI).
🚀 Step 4: Learn by Doing (Don’t Just Watch YouTube)
The fastest way to master AI is to build real stuff:
Create a sentiment analyzer that trades crypto based on tweets.
Build an AI app that generates marketing copy for clients.
Automate your own work — make an AI that handles your emails or schedules.
📚 Step 5: Resources That’ll Level You Up
Learn ML basics: fast.ai or Google’s ML Crash Course.
Build AI apps: freeCodeCamp or YouTube’s “Code with Tomi” / “Nicholas Renotte.”
Trading AI: Check out “Algorithmic Trading with Python” by QuantInsti.
No-code AI apps: Buildspace or FlowiseAI.

This lesson focuses on creating real-time visuals, animation, and audiovisual composition using Ableton Live together with the visual engine Videosync. It is suitable for beginners and early-intermediate users who want to explore visuals in a musical and performance-oriented context.

We look at how visuals can be created, structured, and performed in relation to sound. Starting from basic setups and visual ideas, we move toward building animated and real-time visual systems that can be used for performances, installations, or audiovisual works. The emphasis is on understanding visuals as time-based systems, rather than relying on templates or ready-made effects.

Depending on your interests, lessons can include:

■ working with real-time visuals and video clips
■ creating and controlling animated visuals
■ structuring visuals in relation to rhythm, timing, and musical form
■ preparing visual sessions and VJ sets for concerts
■ building audiovisual compositions and performance setups
■ creating music videos and visual content for promoting music online
■ developing visuals for art and installation projects

For more experienced users, we can also explore experimental and creative approaches, including system-based animation, generative structures, unconventional audiovisual workflows and developing custom shaders.

Lessons are adapted to your level and goals. No prior experience with visual tools in Ableton Live is required, and the focus is on clear concepts that can be applied across different visual approaches.

Private lessons are available in my studio in Nijmegen, at your place, or online if preferred.

This lesson focuses on creating real-time visuals, animation, and audiovisual composition using Ableton Live together with the visual engine Videosync. It is suitable for beginners and early-intermediate users who want to explore visuals in a musical and performance-oriented context.

We look at how visuals can be created, structured, and performed in relation to sound. Starting from basic setups and visual ideas, we move toward building animated and real-time visual systems that can be used for performances, installations, or audiovisual works. The emphasis is on understanding visuals as time-based systems, rather than relying on templates or ready-made effects.

Depending on your interests, lessons can include:

■ working with real-time visuals and video clips
■ creating and controlling animated visuals
■ structuring visuals in relation to rhythm, timing, and musical form
■ preparing visual sessions and VJ sets for concerts
■ building audiovisual compositions and performance setups
■ creating music videos and visual content for promoting music online
■ developing visuals for art and installation projects

For more experienced users, we can also explore experimental and creative approaches, including system-based animation, generative structures, unconventional audiovisual workflows and developing custom shaders.

Lessons are adapted to your level and goals. No prior experience with visual tools in Ableton Live is required, and the focus is on clear concepts that can be applied across different visual approaches.

Private lessons are available in my studio in Nijmegen, at your place, or online if preferred.
