BA, Wesleyan University, 2005 - Studio Arts
Experience / Qualifications
20 years of teaching experience: Taught at Okan University before teaching at my own studio for 10 years. Currently, I also work as an interviewer for Wesleyan University, my alma mater, which offers me unparalleled insight into university acceptance process.My success statistics are:
98% Total percentage of acceptances received (from all applications to date)
100% Total percentage of scholarships awarded (from universities that offer
scholarships)
100% Total university placement (of all students to date)
My past students have been accepted to these programs:
Architecture, Drawing, Game Design, Graphic Design, Fashion Design, Industrial Design, Interactive Arts, Interior Design, Intermedia, Painting, Photography, Sculpture, Video, Visual Arts
I have sent students to these countries:
UK, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, France, Hungary, Czechia, Switzerland, USA
I am an attentive, dedicated, and lively art teacher with 10 years of experience in portfolio preparation and university counseling.
I help students with:
• CREATING A WINNING PORTFOLIO:
Learn how to create ambitious, interesting works; how to take good photos of artwork; how to edit images with Adobe Photoshop; how to write smart, intellectual texts on your works; how to layout and design a portfolio with Adobe InDesign, typography, which works to include in which order for each portfolio (you should *never* send the same portfolio to all schools! :D).
• SCHOOL SEARCH AND UNIVERSITY COUNSELLING:
North American / European university recommendations (France, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden,...); finding the right schools for you, finding and applying for scholarships. I also work as an interviewer for my alma mater; as such I can offer veritable insight into university application and acceptance process.
• UNIVERSITY APPLICATION SKILLS:
Interview preparation; emailing with universities; university-specific, personalized exam prep for European universities with on-location entrance exams, collecting the right recommendations; writing winning application letters/essays from first idea to final spellcheck
• TRANSFORMING STUDENTS INTO YOUNG ARTIST/DESIGNERS:
With individually-tailored, highly-effective programs that merge art skills with professional skills, my students transform from ‘learner’ to ‘young professionals’ in a matter of months.
>>> You will learn art skills including drawing, color skills, creating enticing/engaging compositions, experimentation and understanding of various artistic materials and techniques ([analog and digital] drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, video, animation, performance, interactive media...).
>>> You will also learn any supportive computer software skills you might need (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dimension, Premiere, After Effects, 3DS Max/SketchUp/Blender).
>>> You will create both major-specific projects and artwork that complements your major, to show you "have the right mindset" ;)
>>> Finally, with classes that focus on art history and philosophy, and you will learn how to write and talk about art and design projects, which will make you truly stand out.
My students transform into young designers/artists because of this well-rounded approach. This is why my success statistics are:
98% Total percentage of acceptances received (from all applications to date)
100% Total percentage of scholarships awarded (from universities that offer scholarships)
100% Total university placement (of all students to date)
To achieve the same success as the students before you: You need to come to classes and you need to do your homework. But if you do these two student basics, I promise I will get you into your dream school. Really :)

Drawing courses with a unique approach. You'll be amazed at how quickly you level up!
For over 10 years, I have been developing a method that allows my students to learn observational drawing at record speed. Through pictorial and observational exercises, my students become adept at drawing *any and all* observational subjects in:
4 months with 1 day/wk classes at 4 hrs/day
2 weeks at 6 days/wk classes at 6 hrs/day
.
Please choose one of the two courses:
>> OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING (B/W): If you don't know how to draw, pick this one. If you "know how to draw except for" portraits/perspective/etc, this is the best program for you too. (details below)
>> COLOR OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING: If you can draw anything from observation, but want to understand how color works, pick this one. If your goal is to make oil paintings and you already know how to draw, this is your program too. (details below)
.
>> OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING (black/white) <<
For those who want to learn drawing or those who want to improve their drawing skills quickly
*Observational Drawing Topics*:
Line quality
Drawing the hand
Using negative space in drawing and in composition
Making strong compositions
Measuring sizes and angles
Drawing plants and furniture
Drawing the human figure
Shading methods
Drawing perspective
Drawing with light
Composing with light
Drawing the interior
Drawing the face, proportions
Drawing light and shadow
Portraiture
Materials used: Graphite, Charcoal, Markers/India ink, paper
Since this is a technique class, I recommend that you take at least 4 hours/week to be able to experience your improvement class by class. If you wish to take less hours, please note that with a 2 hours/day course, you will complete the program in 10-12 months, which will be caused by not gaining enough momentum during class time.
>> COLOR OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING <<
For those who want to learn color in representational art. Become skillful at using color in your works.
*Color Observational Drawing Topics*:
Basic color theory
Interrelationship of colors
Mixing colors
Composition with colors: Creating abstract drawings
Drawing the self-portrait
Drawing the nature-morte
Drawing interior/exterior architecture
Drawing plants and gardens
Materials used: Color pencils, soft pastels, photography, color paper
Please note that this course is designed for students who already Can do observational drawings. If you are unsure of your level, I recommend starting with the "Observational Drawing" program.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.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.

Succeed in the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Private preparation sessions | [IN LINE]My name is Fawzi, and I am a French language teacher. Since 2012, I have been giving private lessons online. My objective is to support learners towards success in the DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) or the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), as well as the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have had the pleasure of helping many students of different nationalities through my online courses. For me, helping enthusiasts practice the French language is an enriching experience, because I understand the importance of success in the lives of ambitious people.
I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English and a little Turkish. During my classes, I explain concepts in French, Arabic or Spanish, depending on your preference. At the end of each session, I offer exercises to do as homework, in order to identify your gaps and monitor your progress.
Here are some essential points to know about the DELF and DALF:
- The DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two high-quality official diplomas. They are aligned with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and cover the following six levels, from the most basic to the most advanced: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.
- The DELF B2 and, increasingly, the DALF C1, provide access to French, European or French-speaking universities, as well as certain Grandes Ecoles.
If you plan to take DELF or DALF exams, or if you want to improve your level, do not hesitate to book your sessions with me to start preparation. I am available !
