    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.

Before I came I had…read moretrouble understanding what made a good portfolio, how to become unique in the sea of similar portfolios, and what the industry was actually looking for. 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.

Yosef and Joon really helped guide me to create a portfolio that I was extremely proud of, for a new and competitive industry. Ive gained so many practical skillsets that are essential to have in order to work in the industry but that aren't focused on in the curriculum of even the top design schools. 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!

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!

    It's a little hard for me to write a normal review of AWP, because Margaret and this studio have…read morebeen part of my life for so long. I first got to know Margaret through collaborations. We worked together for almost seven years on art shows and different community events, and somewhere along the way, the relationship became much more than just a business partnership. I got to watch her build AWP with so much passion, care, and belief in what art can do for kids. Then years later, my son Max became one of those kids. He's been learning at AWP for almost three years now, and there is something really meaningful about that for me. A place I once knew as a partner became a place I now experience as a dad. And honestly, that changed how I see AWP even more. I see how much thought goes into helping each child find their own way. I see teachers giving kids technique and discipline, but also room to experiment, make mistakes, be silly, be imaginative, and slowly develop their own artistic voice. Max loves being there, and I've seen real growth in him not only in skill, but in confidence and creativity. Knowing Margaret for so many years, I also know how much heart sits behind all of this. AWP didn't become what it is by accident. It reflects who she is: warm, fun, thoughtful, hardworking, and deeply committed to creating something meaningful for children and families. I'm really happy to see AWP growing and reaching more families. For me, this is not just an art school I would recommend. It is a place I genuinely care about, built by someone I have been lucky to know for many years. And I'm very grateful that Max gets to grow up with AWP as part of his childhood.

Our son is naturally quiet and shy, but Mrs. Billy has helped him build confidence by encouraging him to express his own ideas and interests in his artwork and we can't thank her enough for how that has helped him come out of his shell in the classroom and beyond! Mrs. Billy also takes the time after class to update us and offer insights and constructive feedback on his creative growth. Based on our experience, I'd advise parents to take negative reviews with a grain of salt. All the teachers and staff here are genuinely so nice and unlike programs that focus mainly on copying pictures, Art/Work/Place balances technical skill building with creativity, imagination, and play. As someone who works as a designer in the gaming industry and has an art background, I can honestly say they're teaching kids the right way to learn art. Our son is already excited to be back in the fall!

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.
