    This review is not on this location specifically but regarding how their office handles their…read morefinances. Pre-COVID I purchased an intro package of classes for my teenager and when the shutdowns happened I still had classes unused left. I contacted their offices and was told I would be receiving a refund (amount $60). After a year and a half of back and forth phone calls and being strung along, I am finally writing this review. I understand that they were closed and everything got delayed or pushed back. However, their finance team kept assuring me I'd receive a refund. I normally wouldn't have pursued this for so long but they kept telling me "next week... next week" I am officially giving up on the refund (maybe they'll surprise me) and writing this review so others are warned regarding their lack of follow through on their end. Apart from all of this, the two classes that my teen completed were fine. Wish this location the best and hope they can communicate with their finance office about their lack of integrity and completion on promised they've made.

    Question: do you want to instill confidence in art AND life in your child? If your answer is yes…read morethen this is NOT the place to go. Why? I sat in on my daughter's introductory art class and saw why some of the artwork looks so good. It's not your child's artwork! I watched the "instructor" go back to one child over and over again to paint her picture for her, one time spending ten minutes at her station painting her picture FOR her. The poor child repeatedly asked for help throughout the class because she had no idea what she was doing. How could she with someone else painting her picture?! Not to mention the fact that she will go home and show off her beautiful artwork to her parents who I am sure will be astonished and proud but she will never be able to recreate that kind of art again because someone else painted it for her. Is that confidence building? Hardly. Others including my child were the recipient of this teaching style. My daughter did their free introductory class which is great because you get a chance to feel the place out before you buy ($195/month!!!). The free intro class is good. They've got two aides for seven children. Also good. However, the girl "teaching" my daughter asked her to look at her picture and see what looks "wrong" about it. Next she told her this part "looked funny" when critiquing her imperfectly drawn circle (she's seven). These are not encouraging words for a child! Or anyone else for that matter. Next she proceeds to ERASE my daughters work and re-draw the whole picture to show her how to do it "right". Isn't art supposed to be about creativity and the artist's interpretation??? Isn't the best way to learn by doing it yourself??? "Imperfections" often turn out to be masterpieces and I fear my daughter's frustration and doubt in not creating perfection the next time we draw. My daughter does not need to attach words such as "wrong" and "looks funny" to her own work or anyone else's; THIS IS HOW YOU SQUELCH CREATIVITY. I guess if you're into that sort of thing and want your kids to learn to be ashamed of any "imperfections" then this place is right for you. I can tell you right now though that this is not where we will be spending our money! Not a good way to foster creativity!

    We had a great experience with Sketchbook Art Studio for my daughter's college portfolio…read morepreparation. Ms. Wonju and instructors are extremely knowledgeable and genuinely committed to helping each student succeed. They provided thoughtful guidance and really understood how to bring out my daughter's strengths. The program is very well structured and professional, which was especially helpful since my daughter began her portfolio preparation a bit later than most. The school created a clear plan tailored to the specific requirements of each college she was applying to, particularly for design majors, not just traditional art majors. With their support, my daughter was accepted into most of her top choice schools this year and received scholarships from every school she got into. And it truly reflects the quality of the program. I have two daughters, and based on the experience we had with my older one, I've already enrolled my younger one, who is currently a freshman. I highly recommend this school to anyone interested in pursuing a major in art or design.

    We have been sending our girls to Sketchbook for over 4 years and what really sets this art studio…read moreapart from others is the individualized guidance each student receives from their teachers. The other studios we have sent the girls in the past offer a more "cookie-cutter" approach from project concept to completion. The girls are allowed space to roam and explore with each project which is a far cry from their experiences in previous studios. We love how technique is emphasized along with learning how each media can alter the look, feel, and interpretation of an art piece. We cannot be happier with how our girls' have grown as artist through these years. We strongly recommend Sketchbook to anyone wanting to grow as artists!

    I was able to host a paint night for my birthday in this local studio. I spoke with the co-owners,…read moreJune and Diana and they were great to work with. Their studio was able to accommodate 10 people and they provided us with all the materials. I chose a Tangled inspired image with a silhouette of a couple on a boat and the night sky filled with floating lanterns. I would be lying if I took all the credit for my masterpiece. I asked June to help me paint the silhouettes of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask - which turned out the way I envisioned! June and Diana were very accommodating. I made sure I asked at least 2 months in advanced to schedule my paint night on a weekend. They were outgoing, energetic, and VERY patient with my party. The studio is overall a really cute space. A big plus that it's near a Starbucks and Ten Ren's. Props to the bright and cosy decor! The walls are decorated with incredible art pieces that were made by Diana and June (at least most of them were). Their regular art classes are for children and adolescents. I highly recommend this art studio.

    I started going to Spotcolor when I was a junior in high school, and it made a huge difference…read more They taught me everything from the basics and helped me build a strong portfolio. Thanks to their guidance, I was accepted to every college I applied to and received scholarships from most of them as an international student. At the art school I attended, someone in the financial aid office even told me that she had never seen an international student receive as much scholarship funding as I did. The instructors were incredibly kind, supportive, and genuinely cared about their students' success. Even more than 10 years later, I still keep in touch with some of them. I highly recommend Spotcolor to anyone who's serious about applying to art school or building a strong portfolio. I'm truly grateful for everything they taught me.

I didn't have much time to curate my portfolio, but I learned and created so much during my time here. I entered class not knowing much about fashion and costume, but they taught me everything I needed to know starting from the basics. All the teachers are super attentive and helpful to each student, and I'm still eternally grateful I had the opportunity to learn from them. I was accepted into almost all of my dream colleges and am currently an alumni at one of the best universities in the nation for theatre design. If anyone's looking for an art studio that will help you with your portfolio every step of the way, I would definitely recommend taking classes here!

    I've attended Creative Arts for about 5 years now and it's one of the best art classes I've ever…read morebeen to. They support everyone's creativity and unique ideas. Their classes are great for both young kids and older students. I did my AP Art Studio portfolio here and Meg is a great teacher. She fully supported my ideas and helped me develop them further to better paintings. I became a better artist here and would recommend to everyone that is either just starting out art or amazing at it already. It's a great place to work on any form of art. They've also helped multiple students get i to OCHSA and so much more! This is the best art class you'll find in Irvine from beginning art classes for kids to advanced classes for teens.

    My husband and I are not very artistic so when our 9 yr old daughter asked us to add art on her…read morealready long list of activities, we were very hesitant. She kept asking for months so i decided to bring her to Creative Art. We explained to Meg that we did not know anything about art and there's no art gene run in the family. Meg assured us that she has had many students from families just like ours and they did great. We signed up for the tryout lessons and immediately were impressed with our daughter's progress. My very athletic girl can sit thru 2 full hours focused and quietly working on her projects. Meg knows how to encourage her students and she created a very laidback environment, perfect for you to explore and to be creative. Class schedule has many options and when we have conflicts with other activities, they are willing to work with you. I sent my girl's paintings to friends and family members and they are so impressed, we got a lot of "where did she get that from?" We are very happy with Meg and Creative Art
