Traditional clay modelling techniques - sculpture classes

In these lessons / course I will introduce you to the basics of traditional clay modelling. Starting from understanding proportions, measuring 3-dimensional objects and building a strong armature using wood and wire to carefully examining and transferring the shapes of the model into your own clay reproduction.

Michelangelo, Bernini and Rodin have been studying the sculptures of their predecessors the same way and have been a great influence on my own work, and that is why I want to pass this knowledge on.

In these lessons, you will also acquire some knowledge of the use of power-tools necessary to make the armatures.

About Me

I am a contemporary artist having studied traditional, academic and anatomic clay modelling for six years and spent more than fourteen years studying fine art overall (drawing in pencil and charcoal, oil painting, sculpting, stone and wood carving, etc.). I hold a MFA from The University of Edinburgh (2019) and BA from The Art Academy of Latvia (2017). Throughout the years of developing my sculpting technique I have worked in different materials, including, clay, plaster, foam, polyester resin/ fibreglass, wood, metal, stone, fabrics, etc. I have extensive knowledge of mould making and bronze casting. Most of the moulds I make are made of silicon and plaster, for larger projects, I use fibreglass.

My artistic work consists of a diverse range of contemporary contexts relating to the human body. Through the chosen medium I emphasize the motion - how the human body portrays the outer factors in the pose, whether it is environmental or emotional footprint. I am interested in the impact of those factors on the sculptural body while it is in process of modelling in clay and the emotional affluence when finished.
I have always found traditional composition and modelling in clay, stone, and wood satisfying to my intellectual curiosity and providing a meaningful methodological foundation. Although, I also find myself continually interested in interdisciplinary projects, work in different mediums and materials that are not particularly traditional for sculpting.
As I develop the idea of the artwork, the material becomes an important part of the work as it supports and highlights the idea.

CINEMA, ACTING, IMPROVISATION WORKSHOPS - - -
These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting. 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. - As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round. THE TRAINER From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.

Art and Creativity lessons for kids (drawing, painting, crafts)
Painting works as a different kind of language for kids. In an art lesson, a child learns (according to their age and character) how to use this language better, to express themselves more precisely. Many kids are hiding a great artist inside them, but art lessons are not just for gifted kids. And, although there are many great artists who got inspired by children's drawing, the goal is not to train children as an artists, but help them become more aware of the means of expression that are in their disposal , which will later make them more balanced adults, who are aware of the way art narrates the history of our world. This is achieved by familiarizing kids with a variety of techniques and artists. Since the lessons are private, there can be a lot of flexibility with that.

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.
