Interdisciplinary Arts & Thinking - The Visionary Freedom Lab

My name is Anita, and I am an interdisciplinary neurodivergent artist.

I combine traditional and unconventional teaching methods with an innovative approach, adapted to the fast-paced era we live in, where attention spans can be short. My teaching integrates principles of psychology to better understand each student’s unique needs and aspirations.

My goal is to nurture visionary children who have strong foundational values and a humble sense of self. I believe that true artistic mastery comes from human excellence. Also, in this way, students develop true self-confidence by evaluating their success based on personal progress rather than comparing themselves to others.

This course is especially recommended for neurodivergent children with multiple interests who struggle to choose, focus on, and manage various subjects. It helps develop both technique and discipline, enabling them to navigate multiple creative fields—essentially putting their eggs in several baskets while honing the skills necessary for diverse career opportunities in an uncertain job market.


The program encourages a generalist mindset, promoting versatility without compromising creative integrity. Students will learn to refine their Zoom In/Zoom Out perspective, gaining the ability to see both the bigger picture and the finer details of any subject. The program's structure guides the individuals through three essential phases:

Exploration Phase–Presentations, visual games, and foundational lessons introduce students to various disciplines, helping them discover their interests.
Development Phase–They start defining their creative goals, practicing their skills, and trying out various artistic approaches.
Mastery Phase - With a clear direction, students focus on long-term goals, whether as hobbyists, brand-focused professionals, or future educators.

Disciplines covered include architecture, painting, illustration, concept design (especially for gaming), animation, digital art, children's book illustration, film, writing, and music (singing & songwriting).


A Purposeful, Transparent Approach

I work closely with each student, providing objective yet supportive evaluations to identify their strongest direction. I plan to guide serious, passionate learners—not to mislead families into unnecessary expenses. I will try to be straightforward - in a decent and not discouraging way - and communicate it if a child is unsuited for this path.

A Valuable Investment in Thinking & Creativity

Even if a student ultimately chooses a non-artistic career, this course fosters critical and creative thinking, which are essential skills for any field. The knowledge gained here is never wasted; it’s an investment in adaptability, innovation, and problem-solving abilities that transcend the arts.

Extra information

About Me

I've always had a strong love for the arts, starting with dance, music, singing, and painting at the age of 3-4. At the age of 10, I enrolled in a professional art school, which opened even more creative doors for me, leading to multiple exhibitions and consistent promotions.

These early professional experiences, including participating in performing arts contests such as singing, dancing, and theatre, significantly shaped my identity and vision. They allowed me to enjoy the creative process while trying to maintain a balance between discipline and authenticity.

As an educator with an ongoing exploration of psychology and neurodiversity, I am dedicated to fostering a generalist mindset in children. I aspire to guide them on a journey of discovering their passions, refining their skills, and cultivating confidence through continuous self-improvement rather than competition.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Course & Workshop – Studio Art & Theory Sessions (60–180 min)

■ First Session – A Complimentary Introduction
The first session is free, offering an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a collaborative relationship.

■ Online classes
They will primarily focus on theory and presentation, alongside homework or portfolio reviews. Each session lasts 30-40 minutes, followed by 15-20 minutes for questions and answers. These sessions are recorded, allowing students to revisit the content whenever they wish, ensuring long-term access to valuable insights. Throughout the course, we track progress, examining both strengths and areas for growth.

■ Progress Evaluation and Personalized Feedback

• Monthly Evaluation Files
An evaluation file will be provided each month, summarizing the child’s progress, highlighting what they have learned, and identifying areas to improve. This file is printed, and the child will need a designated folder to store these evaluations.

• Personality Profiling
A personalized profile will be created for each student, outlining their traits, preferences, and potential areas for exploration. Together, we will set small, temporary goals to work toward a larger, more defined purpose. This profile will be revisited and updated annually to reflect the student's growth and changing needs during their developmental phase.

■ Parent Support Program
A structured, phased program is designed specifically for parents, with regular updates (every 3 months) that outline:

• Exploration Phase: Discovering interests and potentials.
• Clarification Phase: Understanding immediate goals for the upcoming weeks.
• Commitment Phase: Focusing on long-term pursuits over several months. This modular approach ensures that the program evolves with the child’s development without overwhelming families with an all-at-once structure.

■ Rewards and Additional Activities
Students earn symbolic rewards for their achievements, reflecting various aspects of their learning journey. Additionally, upon mutual agreement, I can offer post-session baking workshops (or on weekends) with healthy recipes and customized meal options (taking into account specific dietary needs or intolerances), reinforcing the importance of self-care and nutrition.

■ Homework and Scheduling
Homework will be personalized to fit the student’s schedule, considering both school and extracurricular activities, as well as their personal productivity style. Some of them may be more analytical and observant, while others are naturally more productive. I believe that productivity can bloom at any stage, and my goal is to avoid a “factory mindset.” Reflective moments are as crucial as those focused on tangible output.

■ Recommendations
I offer customized recommendations for books, movies, documentaries, artists, and art styles, ensuring that each resource is tailored to the student's personal interests and developmental stage, to maximize engagement and understanding.

■ A Personal Touch on Wellbeing
Understanding the importance of nutrition, I offer healthy, ready-to-eat meals for students who might miss a meal before or after school. Drawing from my own experiences with nutritional challenges during adolescence, I know how important it is to support overall well-being. This small gesture is part of my commitment to care for the whole individual—mind, body, and spirit—ensuring that no one is left hungry while pursuing their creative and academic goals.

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 language
I 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 :)

Prestressed concrete, reinforced concrete and test preparation lessons
Prestressed concrete is a type of concrete in which certain stresses are applied to the concrete before it is subjected to any load or pressure during its use in construction. This is usually done by tensioning steel wires or rods into the concrete using special devices, and then the concrete is held in a prestressed position. Then, when loads are applied to the concrete during its use, these initial stresses enhance its ability to carry loads better. Advantages: Increased endurance: Helps to withstand heavy loads and high pressures. Reduce cracks: It helps reduce cracks that may appear as a result of heavy loads. Use less material: It can help reduce the amount of concrete and steel required compared to regular concrete. Greater resistance to tension: Prestressed concrete is more resistant to tensile forces than regular concrete. Uses: Bridges: Commonly used in bridges, where concrete must withstand huge loads. Tunnels: Also used in the construction of tunnels and underground passages. High-rise buildings: They may be used in the construction of tall buildings that require high load-bearing capacity.
