Aspire has a really positive environment with teachers that are always patient, understanding, and super approachable. They continuously push us to be challenged by the pieces that we choose to create. Throughout my time here, I have learned so much about the principles of art and color, as well as physical brush/pencil techniques. Overall, this studio has taught me so much about art and I would definitely recommend to any artists or beginners in the area. read more

My daughter has attended this studio for 4 years now. We could not be happier with her experience. The staff is welcoming and skilled. They individualize instruction for each student and my daughter has had experience with a variety of medias. Not only have her art skills grown tremendously, but even more importantly, every time she goes to art class she has a positive experience in which her confidence as an artist grows. Thanks for all that you do to nurture my daughter's passion for art! read more

I am a student at Mrs. Tiffany's art class and i thoroughly enjoy it. Dhe is hallarious but at the same tims she seriously teaches you. You can tell that she has a serious passionate about her job and works very hard to help us, the students, to learn better. Her teaching methods are direct and easy to understand. I would totally recomend Mrs. Tiffany to anyone interested in art as a hobbie or as a career. She has enough knowledge and experience to helo everyone and anyone. read more

While we did not end up taking classes through Aspire, the only reason we did not was scheduling. We did do a try out class, and I wanted to post a review, regardless, because the professionalism of the staff in this place is remarkable. Tiffany, who owns the studio, is a kind instructor, completely dedicated to her students. If and when we decide to start classes, we will definitely return to Aspire art studios, and in particular Tiffany! read more

My daughter has been attending their class for around a year, and she absolutely loves it! Friendly staff, loving teachers! I love how my daughter is building strong foundations here and also receiving encouragement and motivation. read more

Aspire Art immediately stood out from the other studios I visited when choosing a place for my budding artist. There is a warmth and positive energy that filled the entire studio and is the cause, I believe, for all the insane creativity I see from the students. The studio is a safe space for the kids and they cheer each other on. My daughter adores Mrs. Tiffany and the rest of the instructors. They are upbeat, positive, fun and--this is important to kids--"cool." They know anime, cartoons, current trends and entertainment. Kids learn from those they respect, and they respect these teachers. Parents get evaluations every few months to see how their child is doing in vital technical areas. A bonus for parents: They take child safety seriously. There are gates to enter the studio, and parents of the tiniest artists must be present before a teacher will dismiss a child. In short, Aspire isn't just a school, it's a place artistic souls call home. read more

I'm a former long time student and let me just say if I could give 10 stars I would. I love this place and the teachers, especially Ms.Tiffany with all my heart! I came here once a week since the 5th grade all the way till I graduated high school and went off to college. My mom enrolled me in my first class because, like lots of kids, I loved drawing and doodling cartoons. I was really nervous at first but Ms. Tiffany made me feel so welcome. She's eccentric, creative, crazy, fun, great with kids, teenagers and adults, and extremely knowledgeable regarding all the technical aspects of art. (I'm also pretty confident that this knowledge and skill applies to all the teachers at Aspire Art as well). In all the years I went to this school, I was introduced to pretty much every traditional medium of art that I can think of (acrylic, charcoal, chalk pastels, prisma pencils, graphite, water color etc). Tiffany and Aspire Art pushed me to create subjects of art that ranged from still-life, architecture, nature scenes, portraits, replicas of famous paintings, and subjects of my own imagination. It was during my projects/assignments that Ms. Tiffany would teach me about the new mediums I was using or about color theory, light theory, perspective, human proportions/anatomy etc. She would also give me a lot of reign and input into what I wanted to create for my next project. Aspire does a really amazing job growing a balance of creativity and technical skill in students. My learning experience was also very personalized to me even though Ms. Tiffany had several other students of varying age, skill, and goal-set to cater to at every class session. For example, she had students whom she was helping build portfolios to send for admission to prestigious art schools. Personally for me my goal wasn't to apply to art schools..I just wanted to learn as much as I could for myself but no matter how busy Ms. Tiffany was helping to build portfolios for other students' she was always in-tune with my progress on my own projects, my growth and skill, and what I wanted to get out of doing art. She really supported all her students whether they were applying to art schools or just learning for fun. Aspire also helped me win several local art competitions in the time I was there. I'm currently 24 years old and I still paint and draw using the knowledge I've accumulated over the years from Aspire Art and its teachers. I wouldn't say that I'm a professional artist but I'm at that point where I feel confident I have the skills to express myself in art in my free time. I also feel that taking art lessons at Aspire have helped give me skills even outside of art. Some characteristics that comes to mind are patience, persistence, and focus. These were characteristics that I was lucky to have established at a younger age through drawing, painting, and creating at Aspire. I learned to persist through creative blocks or not being able to execute a certain "vision" of what I wanted to create. And starting off as an elementary school kid sitting for 2 hours at a time and focusing on (quietly) coloring/drawing/painting the same subject for weeks was a challenge but honestly I'm confident it was a vital building block in my future successes in high school, college, and my career. When the time comes, I would put my own children at Aspire. I've also made life long friends with fellow students from my time at Aspire and years later I still come back one in awhile to visit my favorite teacher EVER, Ms. Tiffany read more

aspire art studios is my second family and home. the teachers and students at the art studio make the environment so so friendly and welcoming. the teachers are not only genuine and caring, but they continuously show interest for each and every student within the studio. my passion and love for art has only grown ever since i joined aspire! through aspire, i have been able to gain exposure to a variety of art mediums such as tempera, charcoal, and even digital design (photoshop and illustrator). not to sound too cheesy, but this art studio is the highlight of my week and i look forward to every single monday class. thank you to all the teachers who constantly support me as i continue to build my art portfolio, and i cannot wait to create even more paintings and memories at aspire! read more

I highly recommend this place. The director and staff here are very friendly and you can tell right away how much they care. From the very first day, the director and staff makes the effort to speak to me, asks me about my children and make sure I feel comfortable with leaving them in their care. I see them talking to my children in a very respectful and professional manner; they are patient and they listen to what each child wants to do and wants to learn in art. The place is also very clean, which is amazing to me since they work with glitter, paint, glue...etc.. Their price is a bit high, but I think it's worth it... especially when I see how excited my children are to go there and how happy they are to show me what they've done in class. read more

My daughter has been going to Aspire Art for more than 5 years and she thoroughly enjoys the lessons. Looks forward to meeting Ms. Tiffany and all the other teachers there. The way of interacting with the kids, keeping them occupied and making sure the kids have an excellent learning experience - applaud to the entire team for their effort. I highly recommend this art studio and have been very pleased with my kids progress! Thanks Aspire Art. read more

The best decision I ever made was to sign my daughter up for an art class at Aspire Art when she was in kindergarten. It has been almost 3 years and she still loves coming every Saturday morning. The teachers are wonderful and caring. They will also give you honest feedback about your child, which I very much appreciate. Now my son is taking classes here also and he has a great time! read more

I've been taking art classes for about 2 years before I had to leave for college and I loved it! All the teachers are extremely friendly and really know how to help and guide their students. Not only do they teach you the fundamentals, but they do so in a way that is fun and enjoyable. The first time I came inside the studio, I was amazed at how talented every single student was, despite their ages. They have even managed to turn me who had no interest, no knowledge, and no talent in art to eventually creating my own art composition and loving art. I have tried and learned about so many art mediums and wished I could have started my classes earlier. I have taken art classes before and didn't have as good as an experience as I did at this studio. 5 stars for amazing teachers, fun environment, and overall a great experience. Highly recommend Aspire Art Studios! read more

Ms. Tiffany, Ms. Kristine, and the rest of the Irvine staff are great with the kids! My two kids started here a few years back, and we've definitely seen how their skills have improved. We really like the way they introduce the kids to different medium. They are not forced to use the same as everyone else. They also have a good teacher-student ratio. read more

I took my daughter here to take an art class and I will say I am impressed! The painting she brought home was so beautiful I had to frame it to show off her talent. I bought an LED picture light from cocoweb.com to light it up a bit and the colors pop! read more
