She has mosaic (and other art classes) at her studio…read more I love studying with her, and she and her neighbors rent rooms out if the class is several days long. (She also gets lunch for people taking her workshops!). Since I live in Santa Barbara I either drive or take Amtrak. I wish her studio was closer because I would go to her weekly evening ongoing workshop. She also encourages her students to enter art fairs and quite a few get awards from their work. I'm amazed by the quality of both her work and that of her students. Can't speak highly enough about her skill set. Like her so much as a person too!

She's very understanding, intuitive, and observant. She knows the needs of each child and nurtures the artistic side for each child by their personality and skills. When my child was younger, she learned the basic elements of art, from crafts and mixed media, from sewing and needle crafting. As she got older, she started working on ceramics, painting, production design, and digital art. Miss Connie works with the community and schools. She has students enter local art contests as well as art contests world wide. She has knowledge of preparatory art schools in southern california that can prepare a child for its future courses. Overall, my child loves attending Little Art Da Vinci and as a parent, I am forever thankful for the love, nurture, and guidance the teacher has done for my child.

I've always loved being creative, and for a while, I had this vague idea that I wanted to go to art…read moreschool--but I honestly wasn't sure if I was good enough. I had a lot of self-doubt and kept wondering if I really had what it takes to be accepted into a program I was interested in, like digital art, animation, or film--which I hadn't even decided on at the time. That all changed when I started working with Ms. Wonju, Mr. Soomin, and Mr. Bryan. Over the past two years, I had the opportunity to learn and experiment with a variety of art forms, including drawing, painting, digital art, and animated films. They were incredibly patient and truly helped me find direction. They saw potential in my work even when I couldn't, and their honest feedback and encouragement made such a huge difference. With their help, I put together a portfolio I was truly proud of--and I ended up getting accepted into several top film schools, including my dream school, CalArts, with a scholarship! I honestly can't thank them enough. They believed in me and helped me believe in myself. I highly recommend Sketchbook Studio if you're looking for exceptional and friendly guidance while pursuing your artistic dream. They'll help bring out the best in you.

Megan is a complete sweetheart, and anytime I have spent time with her, I always leave in a very happy and upbeat mood. She is thoughtful and kind, and she'll make you feel like you have your own set of abilities even if you can barely draw a stick figure. Beyond her teaching style being great, her art abilities are absolutely breathtaking. I have seen her work with different mediums, from oil to acrylic paint to pencil, and they all come out beyond anything I could imagine. They're all pieces that you'll be taught to create and be so proud to hang in your home, regardless of what you think you can create, I promise!

My son and I begin going to Art Academics early this year…read more My son took art classes before and has natural talent but I was truly a beginner. I had no idea what to expect or if I was going to be able to learn anything. On our first class, my son chose the art medium - sketching. By the end of the class, with Valerie's guidance, I had actually completed my first drawing; a light bulb! My son's project was a lot more involved and completed his drawing in three classes. He sketched a dog, and WOW!!! I've always receive complements on his 3rd grade school paintings (now in 8th grade) but Valerie really helped him tap into his talent. I later decided that I was more compelled to paint dramatic landscaped and started in acrylic then moved on to oil painting. I always felt that I had a natural appreciation for nature and loved to bask in its beauty; however, after taking this class, I've begun to notice colors in nature that I've never pick up on before; like, all of the purples, reds, blues, and variations of whites and greys in the clouds. I really appreciate Valerie's teaching style. She is very patient yet is able to push the student out of their comfort zone with grace. The learning environment is comfortable and causal. Artists of all skill levels and ages are welcome and there is never a competitive spirit. Only appreciation and encouragement.

Overall, we like the instructors and they have a good program. They have a well maintained…read morefacility and I like that everyone has their own art materials. Love that they give kids a portfolio and take photos that get sent you. Only downside is their makeup policy, which requires you complete the class within the same week and the same month. It's clearly stated policy when you sign up so I appreciate the honesty. But this means if you go on vacation you essentially lose a class if it's a week long trip or if you go during a week that falls in between months. I get that they are running a business and need to establish rules but I think in todays world flexibility in business is necessary esp if you have a long term relationship with clients.

Fibo has been a blessing to us. Our summer wouldn't have been easier without Fibo. Jasmine and her…read morecrew were generous to offer free classes during this trying time. Fibo has been a silver lining. I had to share this experience -- I signed my child up for a free craft activity session by a leading craft store. My child was not too inclined but we tried anyway. At the end of the session we could not get anywhere close to a finished product. It was a zoom webinar. In comparison, we were reminded of Fibo's structured webinar sessions. Fibo is a 'bar raiser'. We have enjoyed quality art right from the days Fibo offered all-free classes. Jasmine's creativity is out of the box. We sincerely wish Fibo and crew the best and will support in every way we can. We highly recommend Fibo.

School has been permanently closed after the Sheriff's Department posted an eviction notice on the…read morefront door for all the students and parents to see. How embarrassing, and after all the money we pay. This "school" is so expensive where did all the money go. Some pay up to $1,200 a month and the owner, Angie Kim, doesn't even pay the rent on the space she is leasing. I only write this because she has other locations around Orange and L.A. Counties. Many of which I might add have also permanently closed over the past year or 2. There have been numerous complaints of near robbery on the part of Angie Kim. Students have been denied the right to attend classes which they have paid for in advance. Angie asks some parents to provide post dated monthky checks for anywhere from 350 to 500 classes, then she calculates an expected date of completion. Obviously over a long period of time such as this things will happen. Students get sick, families ho on vacation, other school activities, and so on. Vision 21' s policy is to allow makeup classes for days missed. In reality, when a student reaches the expected date of completion Angie Kim tells them they are finished even if they still have makeup classes left over. This is to up pressure on them to buy more classes. Angie Kim is a crook and a liar.
