Art is something you can learn

I didn't start with a natural talent for art. I simply had the curiosity to try. After passing the Fine Arts entrance exams, I learned everything from scratch, through college, courses, and lots of practice. Today, I teach art because I want everyone to discover what I discovered: you don't have to be born an artist. With practice, you can become one.

Art Criticism & Appreciation Intro Session (with Dr. Ayser Mahfouz)

Next session: dates announced soon

No materials needed

Intro session · full paymentEGP 200

Can you draw well, but feel stuck when it comes to finishing a full artwork or expressing a real idea through it? This session is for you. Join Dr. Ayser Mahfouz for an introduction to Art Criticism & Appreciation — the academic foundation taught to fine arts students, and the missing piece between being a 'person who can draw' and becoming an 'artist.' This path is especially for those who didn't get the chance to study at a fine arts college, but still want that solid foundation. You'll learn art history, how to build real meaning into your work, how to express different ideas and themes, and how to read and analyze any artwork — understanding what it's really saying. This is your starting point to go from drawing... to creating art.
