OWN PICTURES

The subject of the coursesis finding and strengthening the important things in one's life. We focus on intuitive expression and develop from it to where we are now. 

You can come to the courses without previous experience in painting or drawing. We go through different

techniques in pursuit of natural self-expression.

The group is a good way to deepen what you are doing, even for a hobbyist or a photography professional. 

 

In the courses, we paint with acrylic colors on canvas and paper, draw with different techniques, write

and movement exercises are done. With these tasks, we strive for a more accurate perception of ourselves.

Sharing your own experiences through discussion is an important part of working.

Although we all work on the same themes, the work and the spirit of the group is shaped by what each of us finds as a concrete goal to follow.

 

We are inspired by images and thoughts that are important to us. We encourage each other to be brave and learn about making a picture and ourselves, without forgetting joy, lightness and playfulness!

​

Meeting place is my studio in Vallila artists' house, Lemuntie 6.

The space is approx. 38 m2 in size,which enables adequate safety intervals to be observed if necessary. 

When necessary, we follow current corona precautions:

  • come only if you are asymptomatic

  • wash your hands or use hand sanitizer when you arrive and when you leave

​

Cancellation terms

Since only five participants are accepted, I hope that everyone considering the course understands that the participation of all registered participants is equally important for the desired realization of the goals of the course. 

Binding registration can be canceled in the following situations, when the course fee will be refunded in full:

  • Due to illness, with a doctor's certificate before the first meeting.

  • As the general corona situation escalates, the course cannot be held due to the authorities' requirements.​

Course instructor TANJA AHOLA

I have a master's degree in art and work as a full-time visual artist and photographer.

In recent years, I have been researching pictorial encounters and the healing effects of art in my art.

In addition to basic studies, I have studied art therapy at Aalto University.

In addition to the exhibitions, the desire to develop more intensively together has sprouted from the research

and as a result the idea of "MY PICTURE" and "MY PICTURES" courses was born.
