Parents and grandparents describe the studio as well designed to inspire fun and creativity and to help kids grow in confidence and real skill-building, with lessons that build upon one another and teach real art techniques at each child’s developmental level. Testimonials note that classes teach concepts and theories rather than just steps to follow, and describe the program as a joy and blessing to the community and children, with a fun atmosphere. Families also highlight art birthday parties with painting on canvas in a facility devoted to art classes, and one parent credits six years of classes with building the art portfolio that helped a student gain admission to art school. Another parent reports that a 9-year-old has benefited from both homeschool art classes and summer camp programming, with projects in clay, pencil, and pastels, and a parent named B.C. describes knowledgeable instructors and an end-of-year art show where every child can show their work to family and friends.
