Art Hub Academy is extremely professional and accommodating. I registered my child for the Matiz class online on July 21 (a Friday). Though there was a schedule that listed Matiz class 9:45 am to 10:45 am on Saturdays, there was no information regarding start and end date, so I was under the impression it was on a rolling admission, or that I would receive an email with directions. I did not receive an email with instructions, thus I emailed Art Hub Academy asking whether or not I should show up the next day (Saturday) for the class. Jose Luis emailed me back and let me know that all classes start at the beginning of the month, however he was super accommodating and allowed my son to come in the next day, all due to MY confusion! I apologized for the inconvenience and thanked him for his flexibility and for being so thoughtful. We showed up to the class the next morning, and Ms. Vivian was there. I am extremely impressed with how patient she is. She provided an all inclusive classroom environment that made my son feel comfortable. So much so, that he asked if I could leave because all of the other parents were not present. Usually he does not like to be alone in new environments until he warms up, but he wanted to be alone within 10 minutes of the class! The children were already working on a clay project from the week prior, and Ms. Vivian accommodated all of the children. I watched her navigate the class professionally with an enthusiastic attitude and friendly demeanor. She was well organized and made sure to give every child attention, as well as one-on-one attention. She explained tasks well to the children, and encouraged the children to socialize. She was gentle yet firm in her teaching approach. I got the vibe that Ms. Vivian loves what she does and it truly shows through her actions. When the class was over, I walked back in to pick my child up. I asked her how my child did. It went well, he enjoyed it all while having fun and learning art concepts. I was surprised at how attentive she proved to be. In addition to telling me how the class went, she picked up on things that I was already aware of, but did not expect others to pick up on during a one hour class. For example, she picked up on the fact that my son needs a lot of hands-on instruction and repetition. She even went as far as to ask how she could better help my son. Words can not explain how good Ms. Vivian's attention to detail made me feel as a parent. I am truly appreciative of the professional and patient demeanor exhibited by this facility. I am really happy with the choice I made to bring my child here. My son would not stop talking about how fun the class was, and walking me through the process of "wiring" for his clay model. It has only been one class and I can see the impact that this establishment has made on my child's self-confidence. The developmental gains that my son (and I'm sure other children) are making from this establishment are substantial. Thank you for the love and confidence that you pour into our children, Art Hub Academy! read more

My daughter started classes about a year ago. She enjoys going and I am amazed at how much she has learned in the last year. Jose and Sal are both invested in having the kids learn the various art forms and create their own art. If you're looking for an art class for your child to learn working with different mediums and techniques, I highly recommend Art Hub Academy. Thank you! read more

Over 2 years ago, I purchased a Groupon for a 3 month membership to Art Hub. Two years later, I have a full membership and I'm attending 3 times a week. It's the best Groupon I've ever purchased. Apart from being a talented artist, Jose is an effective teacher. He has the knowledge and skill to teach you at your skill level and the flexibility to work with you to meet your own personal goals. Thanks to Jose, my painting skill has vastly improved over the last 2 years. It can be intimidating starting a new endeavor. This is not the case at Art Hub. If you're new to painting or hesitant about taking it up again, the environment at Art Hub makes the transition easy. The teachers are personable and the students are friendly and welcoming. If you've ever considered trying painting as a hobby or if you're an experienced painter who wants to further develop your ability, Art Hub is the perfect place to begin or continue your journey. read more

Best Groupon I've ever purchased! So happy I found this art studio through Groupon, and I'm staying for the long haul. Jose is an excellent instructor and his passion and enthusiasm for art is contagious. As a beginner, I was offered a lot of instructions, encouragement, and constructive criticism that allowed me to learn so much in a short period of time. I'm extremely happy with and proud of the paintings I was able to create here. Also, I love coming to class because of the environment - everyone is extremely friendly and enthusiastic about art! read more

I started going to Art Hub on February and I definitely love it. I didn't have any oil painting experience, I wanted to start it as a new hobby, and I am really glad I did it:) Jose ( the instructor) is very professional , knowledgeable and talented artist, He explains and teaches the technics very well by showing it first then he wants you to do it yourself and gradually you learn it by practice. The other thing that I love about this studio is the flexibility of the classes! You can stop by when ever you have time to work on your painting. The studio 's environment is very calm and friendly, for me doing painting is very relaxing and joyful . I highly recommend this place if you want to start painting/drawing. read more

Art Hub Academy - some paintings i made! Thank u jose! Now i feel confident about my art! - Art Classes Near Me - Saratoga, California

Jose is a most consummate, dedicated, patient teacher! For me, the way I learn painting best is by observing a demonstration and Jose takes the time to paint and draw with you so you learn well and learn fast. He let's you choose the medium and then guides you with subjects starting with what suits your level and then building up gradually making it more challenging. Jose and Sal teach kids, youths and adults and are patient, creative and encouraging with them all! There are group lessons for kids and individual lessons for the more advanced. This is a great place of learning! read more

The figure drawing sessions at Art Hub are challenging and rewarding. The helpful and attentive instruction from the owner, Jose, help to enhance and improve the skills of the participant. Small class sizes and interesting poses from the professional models make these sessions relaxing and most enjoyable. Suitable music enhances the experience. read more

We are so glad that we found Art Hub. Both of my kids loved going there after the very first class. At Art Hub, they are encouraged to be creative, instead of copying existing art work at their previous art class. Jose and Sal are fantastic teachers. They are patient, responsive, and very experienced. When my son had to start preparing for College portfolio, Jose put in extra hours to understand the requirement, plan for the portfolio, and at end my son was able to produce the work on time. It's obvious that Art Hub has kids' best interest at heart. We couldn't be more grateful for Art Hub. read more

I, always, wanted to paint but Didn't know where to start. I took an evening class in an adult education class and was a total waste of time. I decided to give it a try with Art Hubb. Jose, can make miracles happen. He is patient, kind,, encouraging and very supportive. He started slowly with me, guiding me through every step. He would explain his technic and would show me, what I need to do and let's me try it. I like his approach. I am more comfortable at drawing and painting. I love what I do thanks to him. He is always calm, has fun music in the background and the atmosphere is inviting. Thank Jose for your talent and support. read more

Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. I agree with all of the previous reviewers and overall I have had a great experience attending classes at the Art Hub. People have different levels of art skills, yet Jose gives personal attention to each person. He keeps the standards high and gives good painting tips from his professional experience. In terms of space, our class is small enough so that everyone gets personal attention and we are not crowded. I'm very thankful to Jose who is very patient and has motivated me. I feel that I have improved considerably since I began. I don't claim to be a great artist, and I understand that it is a long process with much hard work to achieve the experience to become one. Painting is a wonderful hobby for me and I find it to be very therapeutic. I really like this place, and I strongly recommend your classes to anyone who is looking for a great place to learn and practice the wonderful skills and techniques you teach. read more
