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.

About Me
HelloI am a graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts (Integrated master in Fine Arts and art education). This means I am a qualified art teacher, elligible to work in primary and secondary esucational inatiturions in the E.U.
Moreover, I have experience as a volunteer in non-school teaching environments, such as the Greek Childrens' Art Museum.
On June 2024 I graduated from the master Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Arts, the Hague.
I consider teaching as a core element in my artistic practice which makes me think proactively and challenges me in a very positive way. I am grateful for all the students, ķids and adults, I had the chance to teach and I am thankful for all the moments of sharing and expressing through art. Because expression is the most important thing we get out of art.
I hope to delve into more teaching adventures soon!

My boys absolutely love their art session with Athina. She is a very dedicated and friendly teacher. She combines technique skills, varied tools and art works examples. Every lesson is very much enjoyed.
Great teacher, takes her time in getting to know the strengths of the child and then teaching accordingly.
Great teacher
Athina is an extremely committed, patient, competent, and understanding art teacher. Athina can fully understand her pupils' interests and inclinations and help them to express their creativity. She strives to take her pupils' skills to the next level without giving them the feeling of being pushed. I can only recommend Athina as an art teacher for your children.
Calm and good with kids!
Contrary to popular belief, realistic drawing will never be outdated, not because of some strange fixation in academic art, but because of its usefulness in a huge variety of tasks that are or are not related to the art field. To me, more than anything, realistic drawing offers an explanation of the world that is somehow shoothing and fulfilling.

Send a message explaining your needs and Athina will reply soon:
The more detail, the better.

CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ART: UNDERSTANDING AND PRACTICEKEY OBJECTIVES:
• To introduce the right toolkit to take on contemporary art of any kind, no matter how difficult, minimal and conceptually driven it may be.
• To learn to spot and call out artwork that is being difficult or challenging because it’s a load of rubbish.
• To make you feel more confident when making and looking at contemporary art!
How can we be so categorical about something as subjective as deciding if art is ‘good’ or ‘bad’? Think of it like this: If you’re not any good at carpentry, you can still identify a poorly made coffee table. Basically, what we’re going to try to do is understand how to recognise if an artwork has been responsibly made or not. In the case contemporary art that has been made responsibly, this class will suggest that your kid could not have made it, any more than they could have removed your appendix, designed a suspension bridge or landed a crashing helicopter. In the case of art that has not been made responsibly, then yes, perhaps your kid could have made it.

Art, Ecology and Meditation for kids and teenagersI am an artist specialized in making multisensorial interactive experiences. I graduated from Artscience at KABK in 2016 and I am very interested in how we perceive and respect our own nature and the universe we are part of. In my practice I use sunlight as my main medium.
I offer a fun program I developed for kids, where the main focus will be to explore creativity and the senses, learn about the 3 r's (Reuse, Reduce and Recycle) and make projects with things we find in small walks at the neighbourhood and parks, cook vegan food, and small guided meditations.
These are just some of the activities we'll be doing, and the classes will be personalized depending on each child's preference.
Classes can be given in English, Spanish or Italian.
If you are interested in having more information please contact me :)
All the best energies,
Natali

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.

Idris
Painting Tutor: Discover and develop your artistic languageI 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 they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)
Have questions? Don't hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)
