When we went to do the pottery painting, we were welcomed by Ciciley who showed us around and explained everything so well. We had a great time painting and the pieces came out so beautifully when I picked them up a week later. I had such a good experience that I decided to enroll in an adult art class and I have been going for one month now. I love it! The instructor is wonderful and the community of other students in the class are so encouraging! It's been a special time of the week for me when I get to spend a couple hours painting on Tuesday nights! I have 2 children I plan to enroll in the summer art camp and I'm exited for them to enjoy this art school like I do!

This last Friday night my hubby was working late. I didn't want to go OUT out, but wanted to do…read moresomething other than become a couch potato ( which was very tempting after a long day of Real Estate! ) But I opted to head over to Brenham to attend a Sip and Paint class at the new studio on Alamo Street. I had THE BEST time. I really didn't have a clue how to paint a beach scene....but the engaging instructor helped me (and 7 of my new friends!) put brush to paint to palette to create an adorable scene the studio calls Corona Beach. When I got there and checked in I picked a spot at the tables where easels, paint brushes, water, and a painting aprons were just waiting for each of us who had made reservations - there was also room for walk ins. Right now the studio is set up as a BYOB so I brought a little bottle of my own favorite wine to enjoy. From the first brush stroke to the finished product with the step by step instruction there were lots of laughs and time flew. A couple of hours later we were all holding our own renditions of the painting and everyone was happy. This is a great place to bring friends and family for a fun night or possibly for a celebration ( anniversary, birthday, shower ), and I would think for team building functions for businesses. I had a great time and will go back. I guess I do have a little artistic side after all! Thanks Palettes and Pairings TEXAS!

The projects and techniques taught here are one of a kind for sure!! Students learn more here than they probably do in their regular art class. The classes have a limit of 12 students so there is a special one on one connection that students can receive. Public school settings usually require the teacher to spread themselves thin with 25+ size classes. They provide a WIDE range of age groups and studios! If your child is interested in painting, drawing, sculpture, or mixed media- we got the class for you! There are classes in the summer as well as after school program courses (Fall and Spring).

We also had…read moremy daughter's 7th birthday party at their Cypress location (the cute blue building off Kluge right by Kluge Tennis Ranch) and the kids had such a good time. They were well organized and everything went very smoothly! Each child left the party with a cute painting that was totally display worthy. I highly recommend this studio for birthday parties and their camps. They pay close attention to the Cy Fair calendar and have camps set up for every single holiday. It was a life saver when the kids were bored over thanksgiving break. Love this place!

The Artist Within is an excellent place to take your child for art instruction. Mr. Tom, the owner…read moreand main instructor, is very talented, not just at painting and drawing, but also at passing on tips and techniques to his students. Children and adults, whether they feel like they are artistically talented or not, will come away with quality, unique artwork that they created and a greater understanding of how to continue to draw and paint on their own. I have taken two of my children to The Artist Within over the years, both at the old location and new one for camps and their homeschool art class. My eldest, who has always been able to sit and draw on her own for hours, walked in when she was very young and without even knowing what the business was for said "Oh! I really like it here!" even though she usually did not like any place but home. My younger daughter who is constantly moving and very active loves it too, it helps her focus and learn. Even living an hour away, we came back for a course this last semester. Both girls came away with more confidence, technique, and several fantastic pieces of art. The new location is well suited to creative expression with a beautiful, fairy-land style garden in the back where, during longer classes or camps, the instructor allows the class to stretch their legs and minds on a short break. I highly recommend the Artist Within to anyone who wants more than the quick "paint what we're teaching" style place.

On the walk you will get to see the cool new "Houston Bean" that is a skinny relative to Chicago's famous Cloud Gate ("Bean"). There is often also a guy selling popsicles in the heat, which can be a refreshing treat. Once prior to a museum visit I took a detour to browse the new Glassell space. The main atrium is incredibly open and I love the ceiling view which is very MC Escher-esque. The halls are also covered in students' work, which rotates regularly. I have yet to visit, but there is a new-ish coffee bar now open on the roof, which I think sounds awesome. Can't wait to try it out some day!

And she is an opinionated person who doesn't just automatically adore every school or camp or hobby she's done. Ms. Cynthia runs the place so smoothly. Always polite. Always patient. Pure professionalism and kindness with the kids. Kiddo loves Ms. Star so much that she has picked up some of her motivational quotes and mannerisms at home, haha. All of the instructors are amazing with the controlled chaos that art with a bunch of kids every day just inherently entails. They also treat our kid with respect and kind authority instead of that condescension thing most adults just lean on. I appreciate the crap out of that since that's how we treat kids too. I'm freaking impressed. Constantly. I don't worry about our kid when she's with you and that means everything. Thank y'all.

In my opinion, the Purpose N-Motion curriculum excels in fostering community culture; the professional staff includes fun games, unique lessons, and positive teamwork/involvement that is needed for many at-risk students.
