From start to finish, Emma was great with communication in planning. She texted over project options with paintings or clay art. My daughter chose clay and Emma sent over photos of sample projects she could choose from. My daughter asked to do a "Bluey" clay art project and I thought to ask even though I didn't see any samples in the studio. Emma asked for an image and within a few days they created one for the guests to replicate. That was appreciated as my daughter and her guests love Bluey and were so tickled to be able to make one. We did have a hiccup on the day of the party but Emma, her studio manager and staff were able to accommodate everything without batting an eyelash! I appreciated their flexibility and ability to pivot flawlessly. The staff were so helpful with setup and always making sure everyone had what they needed. They took care of cleaning up the space, and disposing of any party remnants for us at the end of the event. Our instructor was so friendly and talented. She went around to help any of the guests who needed assistance on their project. Emma was so friendly and thoughtful. She made sure there were personal touches and made sure each guest felt special. She checked on us frequently during the event as well. My daughter loved it and so did her friends. I wouldn't hesitate to hold another birthday party here again. Thank you to Emma, our instructor, the studio manager and the staff!!

What a wonderful enrichment program! The staff are friendly (thank you Ms. Lynette), educated in…read morethe various forms of art, and know how to encourage the children to give it their best effort. You'll be amazed what your little ones can produce given the right environment and coaching. They experience with various mediums including paintings, pencil sketches, and clay. Give the trial class a shot and see for yourself! Once you're engaged, you'll have the option of a 10 or 22 week program. They also have two different age groups for the classes (5-8 year olds and 8+ year olds). The classes are typically an hour and a half and parents are encouraged not to hover. Go home, take a walk, venture to the nearby mall and grab a cream roll from Balkh. The parking lot is plentiful so you should have no problem getting a spot. It might be tight and busy but the churn is quick. They also host birthday parties so if you're looking for a place to host clay art party for your child, see if they fit your plans! They have been around for many years but we just came across it recently. If your children has any interest in art (I'm sure they do!), please consider Green Forest!

I've been coming to Ichen for 9 years now, back when her studio was in her house. I'm a huge fan of…read morehow Ichen runs her studio, and her lessons are always informative but laid back. Essentially, students can determine what they want from the class, whether it be a laid back, relaxing drawing session, or a three hour, intensive skills training. I've personally never taken any classes from her other instructors, but I've only heard good things. I strongly recommend learning Chinese painting from Ichen, as she is one of the best teachers around. Under her tutelage, I've been able to compete nationally and win awards for my paintings. Plus, she's a fantastic person and a joy to be around.

I came in with a love for art, but little knowledge in the technical aspects. Through Ichen's summer programs, I got to explore many different media including charcoal, oil painting, and digital. The academy's instructors are very well educated in the arts and provide a plethora of resources and materials to help me succeed. They provided guidance in composition, technique, color, etc. while motivating me to enter my art into competitions... ultimately which I won a few! Ryan, Ichen Art Academy's Artist in Residence, has provided me with fantastic support over the years. I got a perfect balance of instruction and freedom to allow for the full expression of my artistry. I never felt bored or unmotivated because the instructors constantly provide me with ideas and recommendations when I'm stuck. My AP and college application portfolios both contributed largely to my successful MIT application process, and I am forever indebted to my time at Ichen for this accomplishment.

Initially, we attended the Union City location and chose certain weeks with themes that grabbed our child's interest. Later on, we wanted to do a 12th birthday party celebration and Emma was willing to accommodate us for the weekend that we wanted. My daughter and her friends got to pick one art project that they'll do together for the session with 2 teachers supervising and helping them along. When we arrived, the room was already decorated festively for the party. As expected, the girls had a fun bonding time during the event and we also brought our own food and cake at the end. The teachers, Carla and Vivian were helpful and patient with the pre-teens! They were friendly and considerate and made everyone feel comfortable. The girls were able to finish their painting beautifully and within the designated time frame. No one struggled or felt out of place as both teachers were super helpful and supportive. Thank you for making this day happened seamlessly for our family. XOXO

My children and I have all been learning at Ran's Art Studio with Ms. Mou, and I can't recommend…read moreher highly enough. Before joining her studio, I had taken art classes with several teachers. Although they were patient and even helped fix parts of my paintings, I always felt dependent on them. Once I left class, I didn't know how to continue on my own, and my paintings never had the confidence or impact I wanted. Ms. Mou completely changed that. She demonstrates techniques but never paints for her students. Instead, she teaches you how to think like an artist, encouraging you to develop your own style. She guided me through paintings I never thought I could create, and now many of my finished pieces proudly hang on the walls of my home. After seeing my own progress, I transferred both of my children to Ran's Art Studio. The biggest surprise was my son. He is very talented but also very opinionated and difficult to teach. He had worked with several teachers and even private instructors, yet had reached a plateau and rarely accepted guidance. During his trial class with Ms. Mou, he looked at the painting assignment and immediately said, "There's no way I can paint that." Ms. Mou simply smiled and said, "Follow my process, and you can." A few hours later, he had finished a painting that amazed even himself. On the way home, he told me, "Mom, I want to keep learning from this teacher." That was the moment I knew we had found the right teacher. My daughter has also grown tremendously. Her artwork has become much more sophisticated, and she has gained confidence in expressing her own creativity. What I admire most is that Ms. Mou never asks students to copy her. Even in group classes, every student creates something unique. She encourages independent thinking, creativity, and personal expression while building strong artistic skills. Ms. Mou isn't just teaching people how to paint--she helps her students discover abilities they didn't know they had. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has taught our family.

Ms. Roopali is very kind, patient, and really knows how to work with kids of different ages. I always feel like when your child looks forward to going somewhere, it says a lot about the class, the teacher, and the environment.
