Before I came I had…read moretrouble understanding what made a good portfolio, how to become unique in the sea of similar portfolios, and what the industry was actually looking for. I was also not exactly happy with the level of my work as well. However, at Decore, Yosef and Joon broke down what our portfolio is designed to do and the psychology behind the recruiters reading it. They also gave me amazing insider information on what the current market is looking for. The education I got here helped me improve my digital rendering capabilities and drawing skills as well. This helped me set up an amazing portfolio that got many responses from internships when I started applying. Now I'm interning at a Fortune 100 company under a top design team in the consumer electronics industry. I can honestly say I wouldn't have made it here and thriving without their help.

Yosef and Joon really helped guide me to create a portfolio that I was extremely proud of, for a new and competitive industry. Ive gained so many practical skillsets that are essential to have in order to work in the industry but that aren't focused on in the curriculum of even the top design schools. Not only did I make something Im proud to show, but I've developed the confidence to start working in the industry. Thank you Joon and Yosef!

I just celebrated my birthday with a group of girlfriends and Aja was both our host and instructor…read more The process of book was seamless she gave all the information we needed and checked in all the way up till our booking. She was thoughtful and showed up early so we could use the kitchen and bar area to set up our appetizers and drinks. She set up the art stations while we drank and ate. Later she lead the class while also taking candid photos of our group. She took her time explaining the process and checking in to make sure we were all following along. Aja was fun and entertaining. She took various groups shots always paying great attention to detail. This was a wonderful experience and I would absolutely book again. We were the only party at the time, she laid out all the art to choose from. The space was clean and large enough to accommodate my 10 group and plenty of space to walk around. There were couches and kitchen area with a small refrigerator. Overall the space was a 10. Experience a 10. And instruction a 10.

Such a great experience with Aja again! We booked her for my nephew's birthday and didn't realize…read moreshe was the same art teacher we had a few years ago! Once we saw her in person, we instantly remembered her. The space where she hosted was spacious, clean and large enough to accommodate a larger crowd if needed. We were a group of four. She was able to help both boys complete their artwork and give the moms extra time to finish. We felt bad taking longer than the kids and Aja did not rush us. She has such a calm demeanor and so much patience with kid and adults. I would highly recommend her. Her love of art and experience with kids is so amazing!

Pretty expensive for an hour and a half art class, but my daughter loves attending class…read more My daughter has taken art at Mission Renaissance for 2 years and has really grown as an artist. Art instructors are very knowledgeable and expose students to a variety of mediums such as pastels, watercolors and oil paints. The art studio is quaint and inviting!

I can happily say that I also have more confidence as an artist when I am developing my artwork. I used to struggle and take a very long time creating my art. Now I can easily put whatever creative idea I have onto paper or canvas. My process is much quicker now. I had no idea that I could do so many wonderful things with oil paint! These are the benefits of learning the Gluck Method. I started with drawing and then eventually moved my way into Oil Painting. There is always something new to learn. I love that! My sister in- law saw how much it helped me and she went and enrolled my 10 year old neice in the kids program at Mission:Renaissance. My niece looks forward to class every week. She also uses the skills that she learned in class on her school projects. Her teachers and friends are always impressed. If you go to check out the studio, take a look at the art hanging in the window, walls, and the ages of the students. You will be surprised at what they are producing. I am so happy that I found this Mission Renaissance. It really improved my life as an artist and insired me to not give up. All the teachers are great at their job and create such a warm, happy enviroment to learn in. They offer a Free Introductory class. Totally worth checking it out!

The highlight of her day is going to art class with Lauren - this is not an exaggeration. At pickup the other day, she said, "Mom, I belong there". I mean - it doesn't get better than that.

I've had an awesome experience taking gypsy jazz guitar lessons with Darius at the French Art…read moreStudio recently. Darius is an excellent teacher and musician with a strong grasp on technique but, more importantly, musicianship and developing one's artistry. Brice, who runs the studio, charges a very reasonable rate for lessons of this quality. Both of them are great guys.

I already know how to draw and present my ideas using design; analog (by hand), as well as digitally. I am fully trained in using most of the design related softwares. I have done technical drawings by hand and by computer. I thought that I KNEW IT ALL! Well, until I came to Concept Cube. ;) I saw the word "portfolio" and thought it wouldn't do any harm to learn a trick or two. However, after meeting with Tony and learning exactly what they offered, I changed my mind. He showed me the pieces that were missing from my art work. He asked me questions that I could not answer, and promised me that at the end of the course I would be a different designer with fresh new eyes. He absolutely delivered! In the last 3 months Tony wiped away my prior training and gave me new solid design fundamentals in a brilliant way! His teaching method and the way he ties everything together is amazing! He has a unique style and will share his secrets with you. He will also make sure that you understand the lessons. I re-learned how to draw and how to present my ideas. I have been converted!

I've taken art classes at community colleges before and I do notice a differance in the level of information, communication, and style at Art Center. I took a design and composition class and really do feel I was stretched but not uncomfortably so. The information my teacher provided was well commicated, easy to understand, and most importantly I was able to understand the underlying concepts of what I was learning and apply it to real world design problems. I really like how interactive and collabortative the environment feels. If you're looking for a creative outlet, ACN is a good option. They're expanding so maybe they will have more classes. The neat thing is that some of these courses can be used as credit towards your study if you're admitted into Art Center. Many people here use this as a springboard into Art Center.
