Katherine is a wonderful artist and teacher. She has mosaic (and other art classes) at her studio…read more I love studying with her, and she and her neighbors rent rooms out if the class is several days long. (She also gets lunch for people taking her workshops!). Since I live in Santa Barbara I either drive or take Amtrak. I wish her studio was closer because I would go to her weekly evening ongoing workshop. She also encourages her students to enter art fairs and quite a few get awards from their work. I'm amazed by the quality of both her work and that of her students. Can't speak highly enough about her skill set. Like her so much as a person too!

That's what it is, an experience in trying something new, meeting new people , and sometimes when someone brings food or Katherine cooks, a culinary experience. I highly recommend taking an in person class in her studio.

My child started going to Little Da Vinci Art Studio at 4 years old. She is now 11 years old and…read moreloves to attend every week. Miss Connie is the owner and she has a vision for each child. She's very understanding, intuitive, and observant. She knows the needs of each child and nurtures the artistic side for each child by their personality and skills. When my child was younger, she learned the basic elements of art, from crafts and mixed media, from sewing and needle crafting. As she got older, she started working on ceramics, painting, production design, and digital art. Miss Connie works with the community and schools. She has students enter local art contests as well as art contests world wide. She has knowledge of preparatory art schools in southern california that can prepare a child for its future courses. Overall, my child loves attending Little Art Da Vinci and as a parent, I am forever thankful for the love, nurture, and guidance the teacher has done for my child.

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.

Megan is absolutely an amazing artist! I came to her and asked her to help me recreate the night I…read morefell in love with my husband. She listened to all the details and pictures I provided for her and created a magical watercolor of a desert night by the river exactly how I remember it. I gave it my husband as a gift on our wedding day and he was amazed with her work as well. We love it so much and can't thank Megan enough for helping us create this beautiful piece that will be displayed in our home forever. Thank you Megan!!!

I just love the owner and artist, Megan! She's so talented and has an incredible way of teaching…read more I've seen her working with people from kindergarten age up to adults, and they've all produced work that is phenomenal! Megan is a complete sweetheart, and anytime I have spent time with her, I always leave in a very happy and upbeat mood. She is thoughtful and kind, and she'll make you feel like you have your own set of abilities even if you can barely draw a stick figure. Beyond her teaching style being great, her art abilities are absolutely breathtaking. I have seen her work with different mediums, from oil to acrylic paint to pencil, and they all come out beyond anything I could imagine. They're all pieces that you'll be taught to create and be so proud to hang in your home, regardless of what you think you can create, I promise!

My son and I begin going to Art Academics early this year…read more My son took art classes before and has natural talent but I was truly a beginner. I had no idea what to expect or if I was going to be able to learn anything. On our first class, my son chose the art medium - sketching. By the end of the class, with Valerie's guidance, I had actually completed my first drawing; a light bulb! My son's project was a lot more involved and completed his drawing in three classes. He sketched a dog, and WOW!!! I've always receive complements on his 3rd grade school paintings (now in 8th grade) but Valerie really helped him tap into his talent. I later decided that I was more compelled to paint dramatic landscaped and started in acrylic then moved on to oil painting. I always felt that I had a natural appreciation for nature and loved to bask in its beauty; however, after taking this class, I've begun to notice colors in nature that I've never pick up on before; like, all of the purples, reds, blues, and variations of whites and greys in the clouds. I really appreciate Valerie's teaching style. She is very patient yet is able to push the student out of their comfort zone with grace. The learning environment is comfortable and causal. Artists of all skill levels and ages are welcome and there is never a competitive spirit. Only appreciation and encouragement.

Overall, we like the instructors and they have a good program. They have a well maintained…read morefacility and I like that everyone has their own art materials. Love that they give kids a portfolio and take photos that get sent you. Only downside is their makeup policy, which requires you complete the class within the same week and the same month. It's clearly stated policy when you sign up so I appreciate the honesty. But this means if you go on vacation you essentially lose a class if it's a week long trip or if you go during a week that falls in between months. I get that they are running a business and need to establish rules but I think in todays world flexibility in business is necessary esp if you have a long term relationship with clients.

Fibo has been a blessing to us. Our summer wouldn't have been easier without Fibo. Jasmine and her…read morecrew were generous to offer free classes during this trying time. Fibo has been a silver lining. I had to share this experience -- I signed my child up for a free craft activity session by a leading craft store. My child was not too inclined but we tried anyway. At the end of the session we could not get anywhere close to a finished product. It was a zoom webinar. In comparison, we were reminded of Fibo's structured webinar sessions. Fibo is a 'bar raiser'. We have enjoyed quality art right from the days Fibo offered all-free classes. Jasmine's creativity is out of the box. We sincerely wish Fibo and crew the best and will support in every way we can. We highly recommend Fibo.

School has been permanently closed after the Sheriff's Department posted an eviction notice on the…read morefront door for all the students and parents to see. How embarrassing, and after all the money we pay. This "school" is so expensive where did all the money go. Some pay up to $1,200 a month and the owner, Angie Kim, doesn't even pay the rent on the space she is leasing. I only write this because she has other locations around Orange and L.A. Counties. Many of which I might add have also permanently closed over the past year or 2. There have been numerous complaints of near robbery on the part of Angie Kim. Students have been denied the right to attend classes which they have paid for in advance. Angie asks some parents to provide post dated monthky checks for anywhere from 350 to 500 classes, then she calculates an expected date of completion. Obviously over a long period of time such as this things will happen. Students get sick, families ho on vacation, other school activities, and so on. Vision 21' s policy is to allow makeup classes for days missed. In reality, when a student reaches the expected date of completion Angie Kim tells them they are finished even if they still have makeup classes left over. This is to up pressure on them to buy more classes. Angie Kim is a crook and a liar.
