Thank you Miss Sara and Mr Wayne. My daughter gets so excited to come here every week! My daughter loves to draw all day everyday. Since of her age (5 years old) some places didn't think she was ready but never gave her chance. But Miss Sara was different! The first day my daughter was so excited and wanted to come back everyday! They are so patient with the kids and they encourage them. My daughter needed this and I'm forever grateful for you guys! Look how amazing she is doing! Of course every age is different but they are great with everyone! read more

Art With Sara - My daughter drew this because of there help! Only 5 years old! Thank you team! - Art Classes Near Me - Whittier, California

Amazing staff and very happy with my kid's progress. He is fully immersed in class and always comes home with outstanding work.

I chose to enroll my daughter in Art Class because She enjoys the creativity of drawing, sketching anything. My 8 year old daughter was signed up for these classes at the end of March. I have to say the staff is so kind and attentive. The class times are perfect and the price is affordable. They take the last 15 minutes to have a little show and tell and all the kids get a big round of applause. The kids are is displayed form week to week on the website, Facebook and on the Windows of the studio. I absolutely love the encouragement of the children's abilities. My daughters creativity and ability has increased so much I can't wait to continue seeing her develop more skills and continue to enjoy her Art. read more

Paint 'n Sip Night Fun way to channeling your creative side. Sara was pleasantly enthusiastic and patient. The atmosphere was very casual. She explains the technique but does go fast. Relax and enjoy whatever comes out on the canvas. It's about having fun. Don't worry about the phases, the end result will look different after it dries. I went with a group of friends and we each had a good time. Sara had grapes, salami, cheese and crackers as a snack. There's a restroom inside the studio. She will provide the apron, paint, brushes and canvas. There's easel and bench for you waiting all set up. Highly recommend trying it! read more

Art With Sara - Drawn by our daughter Paris at Summer Art Camp 2013 - Art Classes Near Me - Whittier, California

My sister and I decided to celebrate our birthday with some of our friends at Art with Sara. We selected a 2 hour project, reserved the date in advance for a private party and invited 8 of our friends to join us. I was very pleased with the outcome. I don't consider myself an artist.. I can't draw a stick figure to save my life. But Sara's easy to understand instructions and one on one guidance had me creating an awesome painting. Every single one of us in the class had a great 16x20 canvas painting to take home at the end of the class. The other nice part was that she allowed us to bring drinks and snacks to munch on during the class. We listened to our ipod music and had a blast!! I can't wait to go back for another class. I may just be an artist after all!! read more

Art With Sara - "mARTgarita party! 6/22/2013 - Art Classes Near Me - Whittier, California

I celebrated my daughters 6th birthday here at Sara's art studio a week ago and it was amazing!! Sara went above and beyond to ensure that all the girls were learning and enjoying their work. She explained the process so well, described the history of the painter, to their level of understanding and really pumped them up with many encouraging comments. I have also been to this studio for an adult session and it was also just as amazing. All staff is resourceful and I highly recommend this studio for all ages. They truly make you feel like a true artist :) read more

Enrolling my daughter at Art with Sara has been by far the best decision for her. When I contacted the school about the program and what would be expected. Sara could not have been anymore helpful, reassuring and committed to her students development. I knew this would be a great place for my daughter to develop her skills and have the support of great teachers. My daughter is greeted has soon as walks in, it's a very inviting atmosphere. The students are allowed to express themselves. My daughter loves her art classes and I recommend you sign up either yourself or child and take some classes. You will not be disappointed! Thank you everyone at Art with Sara for everything you do and creating such a great environment! read more

We took our five year old twins here and were disappointed given the rave reviews. First, they don't allow parents to stay, which we were not comfortable with given we had never met these people. So after expressing our concerns, they made an exception. I stayed back and didn't intervene or help the kids so as to not get in the way. Here is what I observed: Pros: 1. The student-teacher ratio was great. Each teacher was responsible for one row of maybe 5 students. There were four teachers when we attended. 2. At the end of the session they do a "gallery walk" where they have each child go up and the teacher talks about what a great job they did with their art work. Kids really enjoyed this part. Very cool. Cons: 1. My son wanted to add a sun to his picture, which apparently was a no-no. Its somewhat rigid in that they have to draw exactly what is there and nothing else. Not what we were expecting. The teacher even erased what he had drawn and re-drew 75% of it for him. She seemed nice about it, but the point was to have my child's art on my fridge, not hers. 2. Despite not allowing parents to stay, they don't watch your kids. At one point one of my twins decided to get up and go look at what they had in their cabinets, even getting up on a step stool and opening drawers, etc. Two teachers saw him and neither told him not to do that or to return to his seat. Eventually, I made eye contact with him and sent him back with a few stern looks. 3. They came home with some great art work, but it wasn't their art, it was mostly their teacher's art. So, if you are looking for a place to drop off your (slightly older than 5) kids for an hour and half and have them come home with a great piece of art (mostly done by a teacher) this is the place for you. If, like us, you are looking for a place for your child to learn about art and the different mediums, in a safe environment, while also being allowed to be creative and add his/her own touch, then you should look elsewhere. read more

My daughter loves it here. The staff is awesome! It's a great place to learn and express creativity.

My son has been a student at Art with Sara since he was 15 years old and he will soon be 20 years old. Sara, Sam and the staff at Art with Sara have instilled great confidence in him and taught him the skills to go along with that confidence. They gave him information to create his own website for selling his art and he has made quite a few sales! He has taken art courses in both high school and college and still prefers those he takes at Art with Sara. When I approached Sara and told her my 14 year old son with autism is often told he is good at art and I was hoping to find a studio to help him learn the fundamentals and develop his style, she didn't hesitate to encourage him to enroll at Art with Sara. It has been one of the best decisions we ever made. read more

We were invited to a birthday party at Art With Sara. It always a 6 year old girls party. The mom was allowed to bring in her own decorations. Each child for a workstation for themselves, paint, brushes, and a canvas. The nice instructors lead the girls through a layered and masked painting project which turned out very well for everyone. I'd go back to dockside more painting with my kids. read more

I planned an art party here with my mother in law an her friends. There were about 10 of us. Sara was our instructor. It was so much fun. The prices are great and Sara makes sure everyone is satisfied with their work before you leave. Sara let us choose our painting and customize it to colors we loved. Most of us even used her custom stencils. She let us choose if we wanted stencil or free hand. She taught us both. It was non stop laughter. We had wine an appetizers and laughed the whole time. Everyone was highly satisfied. This place takes birthday parties to a new level. I recommend this place to everyone and I will be back. read more

This was an awesome experience for our 10 year old son who recently had to complete a specific type of art project. Thanks to Javier and Angelica this canvas was a success. My son has little art skills, so this class was a gamble. After communicating with Sara (the owner), she assured me that her staff was familiar with the "Reflections" project, and that they would be able to guide my son with his creative idea, for his very first painting piece. He LOVED his canvas. We LOVED his canvas! The staff was super friendly and welcomed my son to a new experience that he really enjoyed and now wants to continue. Way to go "Art with Sara!! We highly recommend this art school for children and adults who enjoy playing and mixing colors to create beautiful art! read more

I have twins. 2 boys , 7years old. They are special need boys. Looking for the best and perfect place for them it was hard and it took us a while to find Sara. I have tried other places before. The support, patient and the talent Sara and her group of people has for them is so hard to explain. After 1/2 hour explaining to her what I want and expect from her she has delivered it. It has been only one month and from 1 to 10 Sara got 9. Too soon to give her 10.....yet!! I will be back. read more
