Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Through my sculpture classes, develop your personal project and explore many materials such as clay, stone, plaster, cellular concrete, wax, resins, casting and many others. In a warm and sharing atmosphere, you will express your creativity and tame the material.I will accompany you in the construction of your artistic project within a small group of 4 to 8 people. This intimate format will provide you with the ideal space to fully express your creativity and explore your inner emotions.
In addition to the personal project, each course will include a time devoted either to the presentation of a sculptor or to a technical exercise.
Thanks to a technical, educational and fun approach, you will have a fulfilling experience that will allow you to surpass yourself and progress after each lesson.
Let your hands speak through artistic language! It’s always a beautiful discovery.
Program:
I will accompany you in the definition and construction of your personal project, of what you wish to express formally but also in the concept and emotion that you wish to translate. Build coherent shapes and volumes. Increase the strength and power of your future works.
What characterizes my courses is on one hand the technical aspect and a great knowledge of all these materials and on the other a project-oriented approach. You will therefore also be able to learn how to make molds, cast wax, assembly, and realize all your creative ideas.
We will also master the finishes, textures, sanding, patinas, waxes, pigments, acrylics, metallic imitations and collages in order to give your sculpture a personal finish.

Together, we will bring your ideas to life, in a warm and caring atmosphere, conducive to artistic exploration.
Education
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Not yet knowing that sculpture existed, I followed the architecture course at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In a short time, I discovered a passion for sculpture and followed the teaching of Jean-François Duffau, master of modeling at the Beaux-Arts and assistant to César. Years of discoveries, work, freedom, madness, fanfare, alcohol, small and big loves, laughter, and a few tears of course. I, the foreigner, a woman to boot, became Grand-Massier (president of the students and alumni of the Schools of Art and Architecture of France).Experience / Qualifications

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.

1-on-1 Beginner Painting Workshop - Grab a brush and let's paint!
No experience required!
Hello! My name is Makenna, and I have been making art and painting for almost 10 years. I started very young, and believe that all students have infinite potential to learn an art form, no matter what access they have to materials. Whatever materials you have available, will be what I use! I'm very passionate about demonstrating that its not the materials that matter, it's the artist's passion. I'm very excited to work with you!
In this workshop, I can show you the basics of acrylic painting; how to mix paint, what colors to use, how to use a reference. I can help you work towards completing a finished piece to be proud of. Be prepared to possibly get messy and have fun!
If you decide we're a good match, and want to continue working with me, we will expand on these concepts and work on curating a list of goals you'd like to achieve. By the end of our time together, however many sessions that may be (I can work with you to create a plan based on a desired amount of sessions), I hope to have helped you achieve all of your goals in painting and improve your confidence within the medium!
Exploring Creativity and Art Styles Through Art Periods and Famous Artists
In the field of art you can find plenty of different styles and associate them with a specific artist. Specific styles we will go over include Impressionism, Abstract art, Surrealism, Pop art, Modern art, and Minimalism. As an artist, you'll need to learn how to explore varying styles and creative aspects. I've designed this course as a basic guide on exploring different ways to approach your art and honing on a specific style.
You'll learn how to differentiate between various styles, try to develop art in specific styles influenced by famous artists or art periods, and to adapt your own style by using it in a unique way that will define your artworks.
Academic drawing courses, illustration and competition preparation
In my work, I use both traditional techniques (watercolor, painting, pencils, engraving) and digital techniques to create illustrations and animations! With my 13 years of experience in the field, and 7 years of teaching experience, I can offer you a program based on your specific objectives.
For example: - Start or improve in observational drawing, life model, sketching, painting... to have better knowledge in academic drawing, or create your own illustrations.
- Create a portfolio/book to apply to art and animation film schools.
Art classes for aspiring artists beginner to advanced!
You will always need a blank piece of paper and a pencil for class. Some people say that you need fancy materials to make art but that is far from the truth. Using what you have at home is perfect! We will be taking notes each class on techniques and we will also be doing sketches every class.
On the first day of class we will start by setting goals for something we want to learn more about in art. I will work with you to gradually get to that place you want. Art is something that you learn just like everything else, putting in the work is part of learning and is needed in the subject of art as well!
