Emma and her team are the best!! It's been a few years since we started attending the art studio during the summer break. Initially, we attended the Union City location and chose certain weeks with themes that grabbed our child's interest. Later on, we wanted to do a 12th birthday party celebration and Emma was willing to accommodate us for the weekend that we wanted. My daughter and her friends got to pick one art project that they'll do together for the session with 2 teachers supervising and helping them along. When we arrived, the room was already decorated festively for the party. As expected, the girls had a fun bonding time during the event and we also brought our own food and cake at the end. The teachers, Carla and Vivian were helpful and patient with the pre-teens! They were friendly and considerate and made everyone feel comfortable. The girls were able to finish their painting beautifully and within the designated time frame. No one struggled or felt out of place as both teachers were super helpful and supportive. Thank you for making this day happened seamlessly for our family. XOXO read more

Green Forest Art is an amazing art studio with amazing teachers that support you every step of the way. No matter what material or project you are working on, the teachers have amazing feedback for you. I have been joining the portfolio class since the start of my high school days, and they have helped me with many projects and my art portfolio. Amazing place 10/10. Would definitely recommend to any aspiring artists out there. read more

Teacher Emma, thank you so much! I can feel that you sincerely help my son from the heart, slowly lead him to challenge himself, and do not completely treat him as a special child, patiently guide him to develop like a normal direction, because I know that the works you study with him are some difficulties and challenges for him, and the experience of these processes is exactly what his needs. I have the same idea with you, that is, my son brain is very well , even as you said he is very smart, so I hope he can try his best to get close to a normal child, rather than completely using the standard of special children to ask him, even though I know he is still a special child, but this process must be very difficult and long. It takes more time and patience than the other kids, but I won't give up! Thank you for meeting you, and thank you for your patience and tolerance. You are my son angel teacher. Thank you! read more

Highly recommended ! read more

Emma is such a wonderful person and awesome art teacher. She is very encouraging and guides the students to learn different skills and style in painting. She is so gentle and patient. It's no wonder that the kids love her! My girl has been going to her studio since she was 4 years old. She used to be shy and quiet. Through painting, she can express her feelings and build her confidence. I was stunned by the skills of her and other the young children in her classes! If your child is into art, you should check this studio out! read more

Emma and team are awesome! My kid has been taking classes for a couple of years now and has learnt a few types of art - sketching, digital drawing, portfolio creation, etc. All the teachers are kind and patient with kids. They also provide materials, have flexibility of classes, and even flexibility to attend in either studios/online. We love it here! read more

I am totally recommending Green Forest! My daughter have done two virtual camps with them and it's been a superb experience! It's very organized and the instructors are very good. It's not just a typical art class, but he/she actually teaches the art techniques which some art classes my daughter have attended does not do as much. I would definitely enroll my kids to this studio for future art classes and camps. Looking forward to being able to come into the studio after covid! thank you! read more

The instructors are very talented and give great instruction to their students

We just had a birthday party for my daughter here. 8 kids. The party was well organized, with ~ 1 hour for the painting and another hour for the cake and snacks. The painting room was decorated in a very lovely fashion and there was another room for parents to stay. My daughter picked the unicorn theme which was a perfect match with the blue wall painting. Before the party, there were several phone calls from the studio to confirm about the timing and details. During the party, there was 1 teacher leading the class and another teacher helping the kids too. Overall it's very fresh experience to have a painting party, My daughter loves it very much~ Thanks teachers for the help! Really appreciate your help to make it great! read more

My two kids started taking online classes from Green Forest Art Studio during Shelter-in-place. We never had an in person classes with Green Forest but we are so glad we decided to try the online classes. It's a hidden gem. Green Forest took heart in preparing for the materials and lessons needed for each kid. Ms. Emma is an amazing teacher who can teach kids at all levels. She truly cares about her students and is gifted in finding the right method for her students. I highly recommend Green Forest Art Studio to parents looking for teachers who have the love and passion for art and kids. read more

Ms Emma is excellent, very soft spoken as well. I've seen some really good stuff come home from my child. The place however is tiny for the number of kids they have. I think they and the students can benefit from a larger place read more

Actually, 4.5 stars. We had our child's birthday party here. Excellent, engaging instructors. Creative activities. Efficient use of time. The 0.5 star off is more a reflection of the location - being slightly difficult to locate as it's tucked away on the southeast corner of the Galleria Plaza, a little smaller venue than we anticipated for the party - so it was a bit tight for parents to socialize, could be a little tidier upfront (perhaps, that just means it's a popular, trafficked site - the husband of the owner was vacuuming and cleaning up when we came a few minutes earlier than the party started, so the appearance did improve). The instructors started the kids on painting the canvas a blue base. While waiting for the drying, they used clay to make cupcake key chains. The kids got to choose between 2 animals to draw. There was a spectrum of different levels of art experience and talent among the kids. But, I was amazed by some of the paintings of animals - with a little coaching, fine-tuning, and enhancing by the teachers. As the kids were finishing, we brought out pizza (Zpizza is close by, and we had ordered pizza to go). While we were eating, the instructors had put a finishing to the paintings, blow dried and packaged the paintings, as well as glued the clay creations to key chains - so the kids had original, personalized souvenirs to go from the party. read more
