The best part of the recital was the organization. The staff went to great lengths (and spent a lot of their own time) to organize the entire weekend into 1 hour segments. The participants signed up or were assigned to specific blocks of time. We arrived at 11:15am and were leaving at 12:30pm. No sitting through 3 hours of routines to see my daughter's 60 second performance. I LOVED it and my daughter really enjoyed the experience. Classes here are a full hour and from what I have seen, the instructors are top-notch!

Even though he teaches realism, he emphasizes on being your self. He tells you to feel your art and to not copy but rather interpret it through your own view. He is opinionated and has a strong point of view and that is great because most artists now in days would rather just go with the flow out of fear of not being liked. His wife is also an instructor and super nice.

After some beginning exercises, you get to pick whatever you want to paint. I have never seen anyone leave with a bad painting. I don't even know how Tom does what he does, but he manages to coax the best out of every student. I've been going for three years now. I had never taken painting lessons before. I'm always surprised by how good my paintings look. My classmates have all created really excellent work. Some of my fellow students are art teachers. Some are art students putting together portfolios. Most of us are just hobbyists. The classes are de-stressing and fun. They always go too fast, even though they are 3 hours. I highly recommend these classes for anyone who has ever wanted to paint. I can't speak for the other classes, but there other types of art taught like sculpture and fashion design. The work I've seen from those students is really terrific too. I'm no Monet, but I've included three photos of my work so you can see what to expect in the way of results. I had never done an oil painting in my life before joining the class. I had never had a painting lesson since 8th grade. If I can do it, you can do it.

First of all, I want to say that I'm giving this place two stars and not one because it is a…read morenonprofit and I respect that they offer low cost art classes. However, I don't appreciate the way I was treated here and I was not satisfied with the instruction I received. 1) There was a bad storm one day and my teacher called me to tell me that class was canceled. Later, the owner blamed the missed class on me and said that because "I" didn't show up then I couldn't make the class up or get a refund. Eventually, she told me that I could make it up, which is fine. But I didn't appreciate being told that I was at fault for missing the class when my teacher was the one who canceled it. 2) My teacher was impossible to contact. He didn't have a cell phone and then blamed students for not contacting him. 3) My teacher was a nice guy but I could barely understand him and he could barely understand me. He would get frustrated with me for not understanding his English. I am from the Miami area and should speak Spanish but unfortunately I don't. It doesn't matter though because this place is supposed to be bilingual. 3) My teacher never really taught me how to draw, and as early as the first class he had me doing pastels. I felt like I never really got any real instruction. A lot of it was just trial and error and trying to guess what he wanted me to do. I wasn't ready to move onto pastels because I hadn't learned to draw yet, but drawing instruction stopped after the first class. 4) Payment: payment time was not clear, and when I did not pay on time (due to the canceled class), the owner got nasty with me, but I had no idea when the payment was due in the first place because no one told me. I wasn't evading the payment but she acted as if I was. 5) I switched teachers and classes. When I went to the new class, the new teacher looked at my pastel work and said "You will get better after time", threw a landscape magazine with work that was way too difficult for me, then walked away to attend to someone else leaving me without any instruction for over 20 minutes. I was just sitting there without anything to do waiting for him so I walked out. 6) Before I walked out, I called the owner who told me that I could not get a refund for the classes even though I didn't take any of them. I am in an emergency situation which is why I had to stop attending classes and leave South Florida, but she was not sympathetic to my situation at all and I ended up losing $90. I'd rather spend more money to get quality instruction and better treatment somewhere else.

All of the teachers are professional and extremely knowledgeable in their medium. Every month we participate in the District Art Walk, the 3rd Saturday evening most of the local galleries open their doors to the public. Miami Art Club has recently added wine painting parties to the schedule. They are hosted by real art teachers and include all supplies and wine!! This past March we had a small group paint roosters for the Chinese New Year. I'm planning my daughter's birthday party for later this summer, she is so excited. If you love art or would like to learn more about it, Miami Art Club is the place for you.
