    Awesome staff
    Jennifer N.

    We absolutely love Altadena Arts Magnet!!! The new principal, Benita Scheckel, is a former professional opera singer and has extensive experience in music education and administration. We just got a grant to cover our arts magnet for the first 5 years and with that and the new French immersion program, we are really on the move! My kindergartener loves her class and her teacher and her reading skills are exploding, she's coming home with all sorts of stuff she's learned in class.

I was also not exactly happy with the level of my work as well. However, at Decore, Yosef and Joon broke down what our portfolio is designed to do and the psychology behind the recruiters reading it. They also gave me amazing insider information on what the current market is looking for. The education I got here helped me improve my digital rendering capabilities and drawing skills as well. This helped me set up an amazing portfolio that got many responses from internships when I started applying. Now I'm interning at a Fortune 100 company under a top design team in the consumer electronics industry. I can honestly say I wouldn't have made it here and thriving without their help.

Not only did I make something Im proud to show, but I've developed the confidence to start working in the industry. Thank you Joon and Yosef!

    I just celebrated my birthday with a group of girlfriends and Aja was both our host and instructor…read more The process of book was seamless she gave all the information we needed and checked in all the way up till our booking. She was thoughtful and showed up early so we could use the kitchen and bar area to set up our appetizers and drinks. She set up the art stations while we drank and ate. Later she lead the class while also taking candid photos of our group. She took her time explaining the process and checking in to make sure we were all following along. Aja was fun and entertaining. She took various groups shots always paying great attention to detail. This was a wonderful experience and I would absolutely book again. We were the only party at the time, she laid out all the art to choose from. The space was clean and large enough to accommodate my 10 group and plenty of space to walk around. There were couches and kitchen area with a small refrigerator. Overall the space was a 10. Experience a 10. And instruction a 10.

Once we saw her in person, we instantly remembered her. The space where she hosted was spacious, clean and large enough to accommodate a larger crowd if needed. We were a group of four. She was able to help both boys complete their artwork and give the moms extra time to finish. We felt bad taking longer than the kids and Aja did not rush us. She has such a calm demeanor and so much patience with kid and adults. I would highly recommend her. Her love of art and experience with kids is so amazing!

    I have to say I'm disappointed in Ms Billy. Initially she seemed like a great teacher - as my son…read morehad positive feedback and seemed to enjoy the class. Gradually my son would come home sad and upset. At first, I brushed off his complaints as maybe he just had a random rough day. Today, I picked up my son and Ms. Billy complained about his projects and all kinds of stuff right in front of my son. My son came to the car crying feeling terrible about his artwork. I asked him several questions about what happened as I didn't want to make any rash judgements about the teacher. He explained that he felt that Ms. Billie was being mean to him and that he was really struggling with clay (it's a new skill for him). I asked if she helps him with his clay a little extra since he's obviously struggling more than the rest of the more experienced students (I'd think she'd spend a little extra time with him). He said no - she was drinking tea and when she came back he had made a snail project where its tongue broke off and couldn't put it back on. He said he destroyed it and my son said she made another mean comment to him: "ohh so you're breaking stuff, instead of making stuff". He was struggling to put on the tongue, which you didn't help him with. Ms. Billy told me it was Gary the snail which didn't go with the CA theme they're working on. Ok. My question is: how is one of your struggling students able to make an entire snail project without you noticing until he's that far along with it? Then, the tongue falls ogf of it, you make a comment to him about it being wrong, he destroys it, you make another comment to him about him about breaking things instead of making things. Ok. If she's going to drink tea instead of helping struggling students then she shouldn't be surprised about them struggling. He said she was helping the other students - not him so much. He also said he got up to grab a toothpick, and she said to him "you're disrupting the entire class" and he was embarrassed that all the kids stared at him. He wasn't being defiant but she keeps treating him as if he is. My son said he was really surprised at how mean Ms. Billy was treating him - he genuinely didn't know he was doing anything wrong, She did sound agitated when she was complaining to me about my son. I know my son - he's not a bad kid and he's super kind. I'm not just saying that because he's my son. He truly is. I'm the type of person that takes criticism well and I'm happy to help correct behavior when necessary. In this case, I really feel that Ms. Billy is not spending enough time with struggling students - in my sons case not understanding instructions according to her. I didn't appreciate her putting my son down in front of both my husband and I. Ms. Billy made it sound as if my son was being defiant - I can assure you my son is not defiant - he genuinely is just having a hard time with the project! He's asking for help from his teacher in his own 8 year old way. He just turned 8 by the way. Mrs. Elizabeth in the front is amazing on the other hand! Very helpful and kind lady.

    My children love the classes and camps at Art/Work/Place- it's always a good sign when I try to…read morepick them up after a full day of camp but they wish they could stay and keep playing! The teachers here are incredible and create such a warm environment and sense of safety where children create and learn to their full capacities. I appreciate Ruby Hannan, Anayantzin Sanchez, and Billie Frolov who have all guided our kids in various classes & camps including Claymation, Make Your Own Stuffie, Mini Makers, and Youth Lessons. We've also been to some cool events here for children, our favorite being when they invited the animators from the new Ninja Turtles movie/Mitchell's Vs. the Machines to come talk to the students and show them people can become animators when they grow up! Truly an inspiring place where children come to explore and create their own art. So thankful to have found this studio! *also editing my review to add that I specialize in a field of child development & communication; I respectfully disagree with the parents below who claim this place is merely a bunch of babysitters or that their children didn't learn anything during their time here. I've been so impressed the way the educators here scaffold the summer camp in a way that the older kids are making Claymation videos or sewing stuffies alongside the younger ones. No one is so frustrated that they can't participate and at the same time these kids are challenged!! My children had increases in their artistic abilities, social skills, vocabulary, fine motor skills, ability to use technology to create art, and I would go so far as to say even their overall self esteem, as the final art show is truly a special time for families to come together and celebrate what these children have created with the guidance of some awesome instructors. Sorry, but I could go on! The only time I've ever seen the tv on at Art/Work/Place was during the gorgeous, hilarious, magical Claymation Camp viewing party a year ago and the time the Ninja Turtles animators used it to show us some clips from a movie they made. Again, context matters.... Let your kids give them a try and decide for yourself :)

I already know how to draw and present my ideas using design; analog (by hand), as well as digitally. I am fully trained in using most of the design related softwares. I have done technical drawings by hand and by computer. I thought that I KNEW IT ALL! Well, until I came to Concept Cube. ;) I saw the word "portfolio" and thought it wouldn't do any harm to learn a trick or two. However, after meeting with Tony and learning exactly what they offered, I changed my mind. He showed me the pieces that were missing from my art work. He asked me questions that I could not answer, and promised me that at the end of the course I would be a different designer with fresh new eyes. He absolutely delivered! In the last 3 months Tony wiped away my prior training and gave me new solid design fundamentals in a brilliant way! His teaching method and the way he ties everything together is amazing! He has a unique style and will share his secrets with you. He will also make sure that you understand the lessons. I re-learned how to draw and how to present my ideas. I have been converted!

But our daughter really enjoyed the classes. She went a total of 4 classes an hour in a half each and she made a total of 5 beautiful pastel paintings. Miss Amanda, is great with kids. She is nice friendly but can also be serious friendly when it comes to handling the kids. But she's never a mean serious. Thats something I liked because although they are there to have fun, they are also there to learn. She has a calm, gentle voice and I think that helps the kids focus and not get anxious. My daughter had so much fun going and she wants to go back. During the last 10 minutes of the class, they have an art showcase in which the teacher shows all kids and parents what they worked on and asks them what they liked most of their painting. I loved that! You drop of your child and come back 10 min before the class is over to pick them up. I would give them 5 starts but the monthly fee is higher than other places and thats the only downside. They are perhaps also better than other places. But I do believe their price should be a little more competitive. But in regards to the service and teaching, they get 5 stars from us.
