Acrylics. Painted at 11 years old.

I realized I haven't updated this review since 2020. My daughter, now 12, is still going strong at Drawn2Art Encino. She absolutely loves it, and she has improved so much. She has been taught so many different techniques, and has learned to use oil pastel, colored pencils, acrylics, watercolor, and charcoal. The teachers are all really great! We can highly recommend these classes!

I've been attending weekly classes at this art studio with my middle school child for nearly a year. Though I'm one of just a few adults in the class, I've found the instructors and atmosphere to be absolutely amazing. Ms. Audrey, Mr. Spike, and Ms. Rosa have been so supportive and helpful to both me and my son. My son even told me that the skills he has learned at the studio have given him the confidence to approach difficult assignments at school where normally he would feel really lost. That alone is worth the time, money, and effort for this class. The class is self-paced and the instruction is highly individual. The program of study can be challenging for kids who are still learning to focus and develop skills. The instructors work hard to keep the students on track and give them plenty of breaks to do fun assignments along the way. Ms. Elaine is the studio director and she has always been extremely responsive and helpful. We've had a wonderful experience here and I highly recommend it!

My son loves his class at Drawn2Art! He has made so much progress over the past 5 months. His skills have drastically improved and his confidence in his art ability has sky rocketed. I owe this all to the incredible teachers at the studio (especially Mr. Spike and Ms. Holly). Online scheduling has also been super easy, as is communication with the owner, Elaine. We are very happy we found the studio!

My 6 year old daughter has been going to the Encino location of Drawn2Art for almost a year. She absolutely loves art and Drawn2Art teachers have brought the best out of her. I am attaching some of her pieces to see her novice level. The monthly price is very affordable for the personal attention she gets. We are not going elsewhere as we absolutely love this location.

My daughter started at Drawn2Art once a week when she turned 5 and it's been a year now. It's become her happy place. She's so comfortable there and loves getting to grow her artistic side. She's learned about shapes and shading and shadows and all sorts of stuff. She's more confident in her art at home and school too. The teachers are lovely and easy to communicate with. They run a very prompt schedule which I appreciate.

My daughter has been taking classes here for almost 4 years. She loves all the teachers and the atmosphere. Classes are interesting and engaging. My daughter learning to draw and pavement-ship. Taking classes has helped her to develop a beautiful hand writing, which missing today. She is also understanding how to mix and match colors and different type of drawings and materials used for them. Teachers at the art studio are knowledgeable, patient and understanding as well as easy going and fun people. The environment created there is really great for kids!

My daughter is obsessed with this class. She is 11 years old and already has strong opinions about things. She doesn't mince her words when it comes to art classes. She hates to miss it, has learnt SO much about various techniques, she wants to practice at home, and instead of watching stupid tik tok videos, she researches other art tutorials. I had to reschedule a number of classes over the summer and Elaine was so helpful. Allow your child to take the first free class, and they will be enthralled.

One of our favorites!

My 5 year old has been going here for several months and she looks forward to it every week! She's learning a lot and her work is so beautiful. Highly recommend!

My 7yo daughter loves Drawn2Art so much! The teachers are so kind, patient and fun. She looks forward to going to class every week and her art has improved week to week. She is able to draw on her own now where just a few months ago she had assistance. We also love that they have camps on school days off so we have something to do with the kids. I'm very impressed with this school and their owner, Elaine, is the best! She is on top of everything and returns phone calls/messages almost immediately. I am even thinking of sending my older daughter here now because we love it so much.

My child is on the younger end of the age range, and I was concerned that the long session might be too much for them. When I went to pick my child up, they were BEAMING from ear to ear about what a great time they had. They said they were not bored at all and that they were now a BIG KID because they were able to be in class and sit along with older children. It motivated them to continue to create and explore more.

The price is reasonable, the location is charming and the teacher is a skilled, smart, kind, supportive, talented artist. When you walk into the studio, you are surrounded by different styles of art. I was floored to find out that they were mostly created by Miles. He's the real deal, a fine artist with patience and personality. I feel lucky that my kids attend. It's just a cool, peaceful place to be if you want to become a better artist.

No school now days will teach you how to draw and paint like Rembrant, Bougerou, Ingres, In fact many art schools now days do not teach you the most important concept of drawing and that is that in art learning is life long it does not end with a degree. LAFFA emphasizes that. Furthermore many art schools focus simply on art being just paint splattered on a canvas or some weird as hell sculpture that sells for millions and where the "artist" i.e. like KOONs and Andy Warhol do not even do any work at all. LAFFA is very much like how people back in the ECOLE Beux arts were taught, or how those in the high renaissance were taught, in the atelier style, by the end of one class you will have learned how to truly draw which is the basis of all art! The accreditation, accreditation is a good thing, however it will not mean you will magically teach you how to draw and paint, much like some assume a degree means. no a true artist has YEARS of practice and does not stop because a true artist knows that to be able to truly know that they are good at something, they must remember they always know nothing like the renowned cellist Pablo Casalas once said when he was asked at 93 why he still practiced the cello 3hours a day" i think i am finally improving" that is what you will see here TRUE MASTERS of the lost art of drawing and painting, modern day Bougerou's, Rembrants, Franz Hals, Titian, Ingress etc. Who embody the true spirit of the lost arts which many so called art schools sans Cal Arts and 3 kicks do not teach today. One teacher i highly recommend taking is Rey Bustos, he is harsh, he is firm but his passion will drive you. He is truly an amazing instructor.

Unfortunately, our visit today was a completely different experience. Most of the interesting craft supplies we remembered. fun stones, colorful glass gems, unique trinkets, ribbons , sparkly stuff and creative materials were gone. Instead, the crafting area was mostly filled with things like pipe cleaners, scraps, cardboard, paper clips, boxes, stickers and other everyday items that you could easily find at home and def not worth $50 an hour. We also noticed very young toddlers wandering around, banging on projects and breaking things, which made it difficult for older kids to enjoy the space and didn't feel very organized. It honestly felt like the studio had lost a lot of the creativity and magic that made us fall in love with it in the first place. I really hope they bring back the unique materials and imaginative atmosphere they used to have, because it was once such a special place

We know we wanted to do some kind of art party but wanted to be unique. We found that at Art Rebel for a glow in the dark art party. Ponti, the owner, made this birthday so special for our 6 year old and all her friends. From the beginning he was so easy to work with and very communicative. Ponti has kids birthday parties down to a science with different activities planned out that all the kids loved! Him and his team handled it all while we got to relax and chat with other parents. On top of that, we didn't have to worry about goodie bags because all the kids went home with a couple pieces of glow in the dark art that they made. There was a separate, and massive, room for food and drinks so when cake cutting came around it was so easy. Also he made setting up and packing up so easy.
