About Me

Art: Welcome to a transformative artistic journey! I am Yaya Céline Wang, your dedicated artistic mentor, and I am deeply enthusiastic about guiding you through a diverse and dynamic exploration of art. Within our private drawing sessions, I will empower you to unlock your creative potential while refining your technical drawing skills. However, our artistic voyage extends far beyond these foundations. We embark on an adventure into the realm of freestyle drawing and painting, where I encourage you to express your inner creativity without limits. Additionally, as an experienced animator, I will introduce you to the captivating universe of 2D animation, offering insights and expertise to aspiring artists like yourself.

Leveraging my comprehensive educational background, which includes a Master's degree in Art & Communication and a Bachelor's in Animation, my commitment is to facilitate your understanding of the fundamental principles of drawing. But our exploration delves deeper as we uncover the therapeutic and expressive power of intuitive artistry. Whether your passion lies in mastering the intricacies of technical drawing, anatomy, perspective, and color theory, or you aspire to conquer medium-specific techniques like water-based paints, oil-based paints, pastels, pencils, and charcoals, our lessons are tailored entirely to your unique preferences and needs.

For those yearning for an outdoor artistic experience, we can venture into parks and gardens for observational drawing sessions. Moreover, individuals with advanced drawing skills can benefit from specialized 2D animation principles lessons. And for anyone seeking a profound journey of unbridled artistic expression, I wholeheartedly offer freestyle drawing sessions suitable for all levels. Together, we will unleash your boundless creative freedom.

Your artistic journey is a highly individualized experience, and my mission is to nurture and inspire your artistic freedom and self-expression. If desired, we can also craft a customized blend of lessons that align precisely with your artistic ambitions and educational objectives. Your exciting creative odyssey begins now, and I am eagerly poised to be your mentor.

French: As a native French speaker with a profound love for literature, my specialization in this field dates back to my high school years. This extensive exposure has granted me a deep understanding of the French language's nuances, offering a strong foundation for guiding you.

Furthermore, my trilingual background brings a unique dimension to our language lessons, allowing us to explore the art of translation and bridge language gaps with expertise. Whether it's refining your translation skills, exploring word choices, or delving into the cultural contexts that underlie language, I am here to provide comprehensive guidance.

Our lessons are tailored to your specific needs and goals, whether you are a beginner looking to master the basics, an intermediate learner aiming for fluency, or someone keen to refine their spoken and written French. We'll cover a range of aspects, from grammar and pronunciation to engaging in dynamic conversations and crafting eloquent compositions. Your journey in the world of the French language is a personalized experience, and I am here to be your dedicated guide.

Together, we will immerse ourselves in the elegance of the French language, explore its rich literary heritage, and expand your linguistic horizons. My mission is to ignite your passion for French and empower you to experience the joy of effective communication in this expressive language. Your linguistic adventure begins now, and I am excited to be your tutor and mentor.

My Experience

My journey in education and the arts has been diverse and enriching. It began with my commitment to community involvement, where I volunteered and served as a library/event assistant at MJC Cyrano and Gif-sur-Yvette public library in Gif-sur-Yvette from 2014 to 2017. During this time, I honed my skills in facilitating events and assisting library visitors, cultivating a passion for knowledge sharing.

Following this, I embarked on my undergraduate studies at Atelier supérieur d’animation in Paris from 2017 to 2021. Here, I furthered my expertise in animation and gained hands-on experience as a conceptor and director of animated films. My creative journey continued as I became a tutor for art and crafts workshops at Ecole primaire Pereires in Paris, catering to the artistic development of 7-8-year-olds in 2020.

Simultaneously, my enthusiasm for languages led me to private French tutoring for young learners aged 11-12 from 2019 to 2021. I also ventured into the world of private tutoring for drawing, painting, and 2D animation principles, guiding the artistic growth of 17-20-year-olds in 2020 and 2021.

In 2021, I expanded my teaching experience by becoming a 2D animation and project development teacher during a summer class at Atelier de Sèvres in Paris. Currently, I am pursuing my Master's in Art and Communication, specializing in the Narrative Animation pathway, at the prestigious Royal College of Art in London. Currently, I've been thriving as a freelance animator, applying my creative skills in real-world projects.
