During this course, we will explore various aspects of design, including 1. Seeking inspiration 2. Identifying starting points in the creative process 3. Utilizing different platforms and tools in design 4. Understanding how selected elements transform into design products 5. Recognizing the significance of graphic design across fields such as fashion, interior architecture, industrial and furniture design, and more. Tailoring the approach to each apprentice’s potential and interests, we will incorporate drawing, illustration, typography, and photography, as well as explore the use of popular social media platforms. Additionally, lessons will cover strategies for standing out among other designers, the creation of mood boards, design best practices, and techniques to make designs appealing and visible to a broad audience. For those with a particular interest in calligraphy techniques, specialized courses will be available. And much more awaits future designers!

Hello, Being certified of the ECG in the Visual Arts section and having followed the majority of my schooling in this field, I wish to give drawing lessons to those who wish to improve in this field. I offer courses of all kinds, according to the desires and the level of each one. I can teach you the techniques of sketching, observation and reporting in 2D and 3D, notions of perspectives, light and shadow, proportions like those of the human body, etc. I want to give my lessons in a feeling of sharing knowledge acquired during my studies, moving away as far as possible from a school atmosphere. In my opinion, it is more pleasant to learn the specifics of drawing this way. Of course, I am happy to adapt to the demands and expectations of my students. Do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information. Good day to you Leana

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.

My name is Anita, and I am an interdisciplinary neurodivergent 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.
