THE FRENCH-JAPANESE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF TOKYO


ART SCHOOL

EIFJ Tokyo Art School


I was born in Tokyo, Japan, and studied art at the Bunka Gakuin school in Tokyo, before learning drawing and copperplate engraving at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and the Atelier Contrepoint in Paris. I then worked in several engraving studios in France (Atelier Bo Halbirk, Atelier Empreinte), and Japan (Atelier Vivant). I also took part in several group exhibitions. I also love to cook, especially cakes, and I particularly enjoy teaching children about art and cooking!

Vacant position: art teacher

Ryuichiro OTAKE 尾竹 隆一郎


Né à Toyama, au Japon, en 1983. Diplômé de l'École Supérieure d'Art et de Design de l'Université d'Art de Musashino, faculté de peinture à l'huile. Je travaille principalement à Tokyo et mes œuvres d'art sont diverses : peintures, dessins à l'aquarelle, œuvres tridimensionnelles et œuvres digitales. Parmi mes expositions récentes, citons l'exposition personnelle "Floating cloud" 2022 (Hagiwara Projects). J'enseigne la peinture et le modelage en utilisant l'argile et divers autres matériaux ! Mon cours comprendra l'histoire de la peinture et de l'art contemporain. Je peux enseigner le dessin et d'autres compétences spécialisées, mais j'aimerais d'abord enseigner la joie de faire quelque chose de ses propres mains et d'exprimer artistiquement ce que l'on a crée.


1983年富山県生まれ。武蔵野美術大学大学院、油絵学科を卒業する。東京を中心に活動しており、絵画、水彩ドローイング、立体、映像作品と表現は多岐に渡ります。近年の展覧会としては個展”Floating cloud”2022 (Hagiwara Projects) 等があります。絵の描き方、粘土や色々な素材を使った造形などを教えます!絵画の歴史や現代アートを織り交ぜながら授業をしていきます。デッサンなどの専門的なことも教えることは出来ますが、先ずは自分の手で何かを作る楽しさ、考えたことを表現する喜びを教えていきたいと思っています。

My class will incorporate the history of painting and contemporary art.
