About Me
I am a teaching artist who also works with technology. I have taught art, art history, making and engineering, 3D printing, English, and also creative writing. I love creative work. I love art and I love the sciences. More than anything else, I love finding connections between different disciplines, people, and ideas. AP and IB portfolios are my specialty.I have worked in some of the toughest schools and some of the most privileged schools. Crossing these boundaries in the US and Asia, I find people need the same everywhere, a partner and coach to explore ideas and to build a plan and portfolio for moving forwards. Let's face it, everything is more fun with enthusiasm, focus, and some laughter to make the difficult work more fun.
Education
BA, Denison University. Granville, Ohio. English-Writing degreeI did half of an MFA Poetry at George Mason University but left to work at The Smithsonian in their museum education programs.
Master's Degree at Concordia University-Portland Campus in Education Curriculum & Instruction with a focus on e-learning.
Experience / Qualifications
I began teaching Art in 1999, grades 5-8 in Philadelphia. I taught in Chicago from 2002-2012 mostly teaching art and art history to grades 6-12. I then took my technology degree and ran maker spaces in schools teaching 3D printing, design, digital fabrication, and innovation.Since moving to Hong Kong in 2019, I have been teaching a little of everything, mostly as a tutor. My specialty is making learning fun and building portfolios and creative projects using multiple disciplines. Whether you want to build an art portfolio to get into a US or UK art school, build an inventor's portfolio for boarding school, or start your own company before you leave high school or gymnasium, I have the experience and energy to help you create your own success! Do what you love and love what you do!
This class is designed to teach you the path to becoming a master artist or to study art history through active study so you know what it feels like to work in the styles of different artists. In this class we will figure out what art you love and what you want to learn to do. Then I will teach you the process of artist studies, sketchbook research and practices, and we will build you a portfolio of works along the way.
This class is best for students who wish to study art or do creative work in an English speaking environment. We will analyse art by others and art you in an all-English art critique. I speak French and some German, so you won't get lost but mostly the course will be in English. We will also learn to write about art academically.
Whether you want to work for Pixar, become an architect or teach art in an English speaking environment, this is the creative English as a Foreign Language class you have been looking for!

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.

Character Design for 2D Animation - Photoshop / IllustratorMy name is Virág, and I am a Visual Development Artist and Character Designer. I have honed my skills as a 2D illustrator and visual developer, working as both a character and background designer in the Netherlands. There, I contributed to a variety of projects, including music videos, informative animations, promotional videos, and posters. Notably, I worked on animated music videos for Spinning Records and Steve Aoki's '6OKI' animated music video series.
While my primary focus is on the cartoon style, I have experience in a diverse range of styles, including corporate, whiteboard animation, realistic, and children's illustration.
My journey in drawing began in my childhood, with experiences at places like 'Corvin Drawing & Design School' and 'Secondary School of Visual Arts, Budapest'. In 2019, I completed the Concept Art course at 'Mesharray, Budapest', which set me on the path to my current career.
I’m excited to share my expertise on character design for animated clips, highlighting key aspects to consider during the design process, the various styles available, and how it all comes together on screen.
I’m also offering a Photoshop and Illustrator course designed specifically for beginners who want to dive into the realm of digital drawing.
Feel free to reach out and say hello! If you have any questions or if you're curious about something, just let me know. My mission is to help and guide you on your journey! :)

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.
