I absolutely love this art class!…read more From the moment I started attending, I felt welcomed into a warm and creative environment. The atmosphere is always positive, inspiring, and full of energy that makes learning art so enjoyable. Every class feels like a fun and relaxing experience where I can truly express myself. The staff members are all amazing, kind, and always willing to help whenever anyone needs guidance. They create a supportive space where students of all levels can feel comfortable and confident. A special thank you goes to Ms. Evelina, who truly makes the biggest difference in every class. She is incredibly patient, encouraging, and always takes the time to help each student improve their artistic skills. You can really tell that she cares deeply about her students and is passionate about teaching art in a meaningful way. I always look forward to coming here, and I am so grateful for everything I have learned. * Chloe Yousefian

This art studio is truly phenomenal and I have so much appreciation for all the little details they…read moreimplement to make this studio a happy place for so many growing artists! I toured a few other studios in the foothills area and there were many differentiating factors to note. I toured another place next to the coffee shop I frequent daily and while it would have been convenient for me to enroll my kids in that art studio, I shadowed the class and knew it would not allow my children to explore their creativity as all students were doing the same exact art and not exploring with different mediums. This art studio is very large with various areas exploring different mediums of art. You have kids doing paper mache, experimenting with clay and pottery, paint, water color, sketching, other arts and crafts....the list goes on! I love when they are playing music in the background - I think it helps the kids find their rhythm. All the staff are remarkable and SO great with kids! They have a very well organized art gallery every year and it is something we look forward to attending. My son has been coming here for a year and a half and my daughter started today! I know it says age 6 and up online but both my kids started under age 6 and have been doing great! My son even made his own space inspired Dr. Seuss book! The staff print out photos my son likes (of all things space) and then they work on things that inspire him. I am so happy my daughter will be starting here, too. I think art is a great way for kids to be creative and use their imagination.

We attended a birthday party here for a little girlfriend of my daughters and I was incredibly…read moreimpressed with the ladies that work here and how cute and well put together this tiny store is. The project of the party was a super cute rainbow "zebracorn". I can imagine that it isn't easy to go step by step with a bunch of 6-7 year olds. There will be grumbling and mumbling but also tons of fun. My daughter was upset that the zebracorn's horn was mixed up with her friends and she didn't get the one that she made (and to be fair, they had both fallen down on the ground and the lady didn't know who's was who's). I expressed that my little girl was upset and the lady went right ahead and switched the horns no problem and was absolutely happy to do it for us. My little was so happy (I really wished I had remembered her name, because she was absolutely wonderful with the girls, and I'm sure that she was the owner of the shop). She is incredibly talented and gifted and I couldn't believe that she had designed the zebracorn and had drawn each outline for each girl to paint. Along with the add-ons like the hair and the horn, it was the absolute cutest art project and my little girl had so much fun painting hers. They also have art classes here and so many adorable crafts that you can do. This is a fantastic little art studio to take your kids to!

Painted with one ugly green color with a brush . They didn't have different sponges or paint options .he did spin art and the spin was a little hard to turn at first .

It may be better for older kids they may have more options . Save your money and just color at home .

He yelled at me and my mom how he cant find his portfolio and now his class his failing because he has to keep looking for the portfolio. I told him that its not my fault he lost the portfolio. He started yelling at me and telling me I do not have room to talk and he placed his hand on me to tell me to shut up. A person as this verbally abusive and erratic should not be around children. I imagine they will report this review and try to get it removed and paint a false picture of what happened. Any man that can yell, harass, insult, and put his hands on someone is not fit to teach, let alone be around kids. All we wanted was my brother's portfolio. There was no need for insults.

She shows demos for different drawing and painting projects and gives helpful critique and feedback on our work. She created easy to follow steps for us to understand difficult cast, face or figure drawings and paintings. She gives amazing anatomy lectures and demos on understading bones and muscles and drawing them. Her painting mathod of starting from big planes and gradually going to smaller planes and details is wonderful and very helpful. She also has an incredible pallette and methods to avoid seeing any dirty colors in any painting. She even helps us find creative subjects for our projects.

She teaches all levels, I've seen her teach the basics of drawing 3 dimensional objects to figure drawing, all with the same enthusiasm and devotion to each student.

Yet here I am, after a little over a month, sketching things that can be recognized by others and having a great time doing it - a minor miracle. Cynthia meets all my criteria for a good instructor. She is patient, gives clear instructions and can explain things in a way I can understand them. She has a great eye and always knows just the right correction to make. She also creates a great atmosphere, makes sure new students are introduced, encourages us to get out to the latest exhibit, and plays a nice selection of classical music. The only reason I didn't give five full stars is because they are a bit on the pricey side, but they are still worth it. 4/3/2013 - I have finished both the basic drawing class and the tone class and am now dabbling in oil paint. Cynthia continues to give me a solid foundation in art that I have been able to apply to other mediums. Yay!

I struggled to find another place to take in-person watercolor classes after I got what i could from the basics class. I found it here with Donna as the mentor. I drive 100 miles RT to take this 2.5 hr class. At first I was a bit concerned about the cost and the fact that the first painting is set my the teacher, however, given the professional art paints, brushes and paper, it is a bargain, even for a beginner. The first painting did take me about 8 or 9 sessions, but there are many techniques involved. I got instruction (often personalized to my needs), and was able to practice on 100% cotton paper before applying the paint to my painting. There is a maximum of 8 students in class. The techniques are not just basics but often involved and I have used them in the many paintings I have completed since that first painting. After the first painting, you can paint anything you want, and Donna will support you even if the subject is not optimal. She will truly help you make a great painting and will encourage you along when you have difficulty. Class is a fun experience with people of various backgrounds, including people with degrees in art. While I spend more time traveling to and from class, it is well worth it. I have attached some paintings I have done in this class, once I completed the first one.

This is a very basic very expensive ($325) beginner class. The instructor Donna advertises as being…read morefor all levels but that's just not true. The entire course covers just one painting which is done very slowly and must be done exactly as the instructor does. Step by excruciatingly slow step. I had explained in an email prior to enrolling and then again on the first day of class that I had a year's worth of watercolor experience. Donna should have told me at that time that the course wasn't for me. This was the biggest waste of money I've incurred in the five years I've been taking classes. I stopped going after the 4th class and never heard from the instructor. She was probably just glad that I didn't confront her and ask for a refund.

And she texted me, "You look like you have no experience. You don't know how to appeal yourself and looks like you have that kind of sense. It's important because you need some sensitivity to treat kids." So I tried to text her back and she just blocked me... So she knew that she was being rude but she still texted me with that attitude. She judged someone with one question and she knew she was being rude but she didn't mind. This kind of person shouldn't be a teacher for kids... I can't believe what just happened.
