Our family absolutely loves this art studio! Our three kids have been taking classes here for the past two years, and what started as something just for them quickly turned into something for all of us. We loved the experience so much that my husband and I decided to start taking classes too--and it's been one of the best decisions we've made. I definitely did not come into the classes feeling like an artist but have gained confidence and skills. One of the things that stands out most is the incredible team of teachers. We've worked with several of them, and every single one is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and talented at making art accessible for any level. Whether teaching kids or adults, they have a unique ability to meet you where you are and help you grow. As a family, we've explored so many different mediums--colored pencils, oil pastels, watercolors, acrylics--and we're excited to be starting oil painting soon. It's been amazing to not only try new techniques but to see real improvement in our skills over time. Sara, the studio owner, has been especially wonderful. She's incredibly generous with her time and has worked closely with us as adults to create a personalized plan aligned with our goal of making artwork for our home. That level of care and attention is truly special. Another highlight is the art shows they host, which give students the chance to showcase their work. It's such a fun and encouraging environment where you can meet other artists and celebrate everyone's creativity. We feel so lucky to have found this studio. It's become a meaningful part of our family life, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore or grow their artistic side! read more

My six year old has been taking classes at Drawn2Art for a little over a year now and has loved it from the start. He's so proud of his artwork and we've been impressed with the drawings he's brought home. He just participated in his first art show (he was thrilled!) and we went through all of his pieces from the last year to pick one to display. Seeing them all together, we could really see his growth. He now identifies as an artist and is excited to keep learning and continuously improve! read more

Great for homeschoolers! My son has gained lots of skill and confidence from his group classes and private lessons here. Sara, the coordinator has been so patient and resourceful in dealing with billing our homeschool charter. She really goes beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly.

I have two kids who attend classes here and they LOVE it. My kids are always excited to go to class. With other classes we've tried it's been a struggle so it's nice to have a place they want to go to. I've been incredibly impressed by the art that they come home with. I can't even believe they've made it! The teachers are so nice and all know my kids by name. My kids are always excited to see them and say hi (even if we're just walking by and not in class that day). Drawn2Art is wonderful and I'm so glad we discovered it! read more

My child is always excited to attend her art class each week. It's a small class size and extra attention is given to each child based on their needs. Very friendly staff. They keep you updated with emails about special events, when payments are due, etc. Excellent communication and response time from management. Additionally, I've noticed my child's art skills improve at school and at home. read more

My daughter is coming up on 1 year at Drawn2Art and I can't stop telling people about how wonderful they are. My daughter is Autistic and can have some challenges in focusing and with her frustration level but the staff there have been so accommodating, I'm truly overwhelmed. They recommended the best class to work for her and she settled in and LOVES it - her teacher Lily is so great (as are all the staff I've had the pleasure of interacting with) And the work she brings home is gorgeous and I've seen so much progression in her. I can't recommend the Sherman Oaks Drawn2Art team and classes enough! read more

My 11 yr old daughter has been attending art classes at the Sherman Oaks location for the past 3 years and absolutely loves it! She looks forward to attending class each week, and has amazed us with her beautiful artwork. The teachers are all incredible and have taught her so many artistic skills. The studio is so sweet and a perfect space for young artists who are interested in learning more about art. I can't recommend the studio enough. If your child is interested in art don't hesitate to sign them up! read more

I have 2 young boys, and though one was interested in drawing, I was shocked at how obsessed with their classes both have become. They are so excited that they tell us every detail about what they learned that day and are applying these lessons to all of their drawings! The teachers are engaging and energetic, and anyone who can keep my 4 year old tornado focused for the whole hour and begging to go back, deserves a ton of praise! Bonus - the art they make is really impressive! read more

Drawn2Art has been immensely helpful with me getting back into drawing and painting, and continuing to push the boundaries of my artistic journey. The teachers there are wonderful and the staff is incredibly accommodating of a busy schedule, making it very easy to continue to pursue classes with minimal interruption. If you are an adult learner, looking to get back in touch with your creative side, I highly recommend Drawn2Art. read more

My daughter has been attending art classes for eight years. Since she was in elementary school, my daughter desired a future career in the arts. The lessons she has received at Drawn2Art has helped her to develop the skills she needs to have to pursue a future in the arts. The teachers are friendly and supportive of students. My daughter is now a senior in high school and continues to take classes and even works at the studio part time. I definitely recommend Drawn2Art classes! read more

I am very happy to have found this school for my daughter and me. She is making great progress. I always wanted to paint as well but didn't have the time and courage. I joined my daughter 10 months ago and I love it. As an adult, I have a special program where I paint what I choose with detailed instructions from teachers. The Siamese cat is my first painting in acrylic. I also tried watercolor, color pencil etc. All their teachers are gifted artists and great mentors to their young and not so young students. Sara, their studio manager, makes sure everything runs smoothly. Thank you for being such a great studio. read more

My 6 (almost 7) YO LOVES her online drawing classes with Ms. Emma here! We live in Michigan and started doing the virtual classes this past May during the COVID shut downs and I'm so happy we started. My daughter has made huge improvements in her drawing and coloring and best of all she wants to keep doing it. She cried one week we had to miss because was so sad to miss her lesson. Getting in to the virtual classes is easy and directions are clear ahead of time to prepare. The feedback from Ms. Emma is kind and helpful. One of the things I work on with my daughter is growth mindset and that you should always seek feedback and improve and this process of improvement is so important. At the end of her lesson each week she proudly runs to me and shows me her work with a big smile. Thank you Ms. Emma, the Warrens and everyone at the studio for working so hard to make virtual drawing classes work! I hope they continue on as we will keep going as long as they are available! read more

Drawn2Art - This is my daughter's favorite drawing she created about a month into her classes. - Art Schools Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

My daughter went to their camp for spring break and it was worth every penny. We will be returning for weekly classes

If you're thinking of signing your kids up for Drawn2Art but you're on the fence about it, do it! You won't regret it. This art studio was such a peaceful haven for my daughter for a couple of years. She absolutely loved her art class and her teachers! She particularly loved Mr. Joey and Sara Montgomery. She spent more time with Teacher Sara and my daughter always felt respected and comfortable with her. She learned so much with her and was able to create beautiful pieces of art! But I'm not going to lie, even though my daughter loved the art projects, she enjoyed the company of these great teachers Just as much! I called it a haven because it was a perfect time for her to unwind from school and just get her creative juices flowing. It was her special art time where she would put everything aside and focus on fun and challenging projects. Sadly we have moved far away from this Drawn2Art or any of their other studios, and my daughter no longer attends. But the invaluable art lessons and amazing relationships she formed in class will always be a part of her. She misses it truly. Don't overlook this studio or this amazing opportunity for your child!! You'll be glad you did it for them and you'll be proud of your children's beautiful works of art!! read more

Look no further! This place is wonderful! My son has been taking art classes here for quite some time and he still *loves* it!

Also, monthly contracts are not required. Make-ups available. read more

One of the best place to learn painting for the kids. They encourage each child's creativity and help every student to reach their potential.They have variety of age appropriate classes with proper content.Incredible job by Sara ,Tessa and her team.

Now my kids have been at KidsArt for five years and they still enjoy going to class. I think it's like therapy for them, a break from academic homework. I love Sara and Joey their teachers.

This is the worst place you can take your kids to . I took my son their to learn how to draw and it was the worst experience I have ever had !! Let's begin like this they charge ONE DOLLAR for every min you are late ! Also when kids are done with class parents are suppose to go in and SARA and her ASSISTANT ( this guy I fergot his name ) will show the pictures of what the kids drew every single class my son had and he had 4 classes they would not show his picture ! So every child picture they would raise it up and everyone would clap when it comes to my son never had it been up and my son draws beautiful !!! I feel like my my son was discriminated and never again will I send him their again !!! I really don't recommend anyone to take their kids their trust me !!! read more

My daughter Kamryn has been taking classes here for about a year and loves every minute of every class. The entire staff is personable and professional. In a recent Parent/Teacher conference, the teacher expressed Kamryn's advanced skills in art and was very impressed. I would not hesitate to recommend this facility to any of my friends and family. read more

I am the owner of the Fastframe on the front side (Ventura) of the building where KidsArt is. Let me just tell you that not only are Sara and her team great neighbors but they're great people too! I don't have any children myself that go to KidsArt but I have referred many parents with children to them and have never once gotten any negative feedback regarding their classes or services. The instructors have been caring and sympathetic to the ongoing struggles of our limited parking lot, which I am appreciate of! After most classes I can hear children and instructors alike singing messages of safety and inspiration. Often times it brings a smile to my face hearing how art can bond young children together in a world where it seems increasingly difficult to connect with others. If I had young children I would definitely sign them up to take and participate in their seemingly free-spirited classes. read more

The classes are amazing. I can't say enough. KidsArt has helped may beautiful pictures followed by amazing confidence in my 4, now 5 year old. She loves it and so do I!!!! I highly highly recommend. read more

My daughter has been with D2A for the last 3-4 years and she loves it. We were pretty sad when classes were halted due to Covid-19, but no more than a week later, they figured how to continue the instruction. My child now has some semblance of "normal life," through virtual learning and I am thankful for that. She looks forward to class every week. read more

Both of our children attend Kid's Art in two different age groups (ages 5 and 8). Every time they finish a class they are enthusiastic and inspired. They are immensely proud of their work and can't wait to return the following week. Sara and Joey are patient, yet passionate about teaching art. They are very hands-on with each student. We highly recommend this business. read more

Sara and the fantastic artists on staff are amazing at teaching my 6yo about art! Highly recommend!

My 5 year old daughter has been taking art classes here for nearly 1 year and we couldn't be happier. She has learned so so much that it blows my mind. She brings home the most impressive art work from her classes and has so much fun each week. The teachers are so attentive and supportive and the new studio space is beautiful. The manager, Sara, is exceptionally wonderful. She's so understanding and accommodating to each child's needs. I am so grateful to have found this studio and can't say enough about the benefits. read more

About a year-and-a-half ago I was outside looking at their brochures when Sarah came out and politely asked me asked me if I had any questions. I asked her numerous questions and she took her time in answering them. I was impressed with her demeanor and knew that at some point (soon) I wanted my son taking classes there. About 1 year later I returned and Sarah came out again to greet me and we talked. I had a unique situation and she was willing to work with me. My son has been going there for about nine months and likes his teachers and wants to go to art class!! He used to say that he is horrible at art but does not say this any longer. The teachers are great and Sara is awesome! My niece started going there about 6 months ago. Thank you Sara and Drawn2Art teachers! read more

Our kids (6-year-old boy and 9-year-old girl) have been doing art at Drawn2Art for over a year. It is the one thing that they have always loved (unlike baseball, dance, piano, etc.). Due to the recent coronavirus outbreak, they have switched to online classes. We were skeptical that they would be good, but kept the kids enrolled to support the organization. Surprisingly, the kids still really love the classes, and in some ways they are even more valuable as they usually get so little interaction with others because they are stuck at home. Happy to continue with the online classes for as long as it takes. read more

Our two kids have been attending KidsArt in Sherman Oaks for several years now. Sara, Joey and the rest of the staff there have been absolutely incredible. The program they've put together for 4-6 year old kids is well thought out providing them with a solid foundation. It's apparent in the art work they create on their own now. As our kids get older, and their interest remains, KidsArt will definitely be part of their regular activities and it should be part of yours too! read more
