About the Method

From my observations, children "would like to succeed in what they choose for themselves." Especially at early ages, they are not trying to express their inner self or be original. They would like to have the tools to understand and activate the world around them in a meaningful way.

Later I found that this observation was accurate to every person I met.

I took my observation practice and created a method that teaches practical tools in a fun, active, convenient, and surprisingly quick way.

With adjustments to the exercises and the duration of the classes, the Iparon method works well with all ages.

The Iparon method is useful as long as the students have hand-eye coordination and that they can remember what they drew a moment ago. That means that toddlers might not be suitable and also people with dementia. But every person that can draw a recognizable shape that they can relate to themselves could befit from it.

The method also works very well for people with outstanding drawing skills. And from different art disciplines.

As a teacher, my job is to relieve the students from hindering responsibilities.

Hindering responsibilities are emotional issues that appear even before the student lays the first line on the paper.

In Iparon, I use proven methods to help students stride between many known problems that hinder creation.

In practice, I support the students to go slow, find out what is essential for them to solve, and build tools by themself to solve particular solvable problems.

I have many exercises that train the ability to observe, evaluate and make new decisions.

The students are always on the edge of their abilities in the class. That means they are in a comfortable area but in a direction to less comfortable areas.

The activity comes with fun, action, and satisfaction. The class feels like a gentle mind-sports activity with tea drinking on the side.

The main exercises fall under: Go slower, Go quicker, Shift your focus, and Micro-practice.

Stepping slowly and in small doses outside from the comfort zone allows spotting things that were invisible before and, therefore, will open the mind to new solutions.

After practicing the Iparon method, the students will be able to use their acquired tools and understanding in different areas of their lives.

And also know how to draw better.
