Had such a wonderful time at Create OC Art Studio!…read more I went yesterday for a Christmas crafting event with a fun group of ladies, and we had an absolute blast. So many laughs, great energy, and the perfect creative atmosphere. Jennifer, the owner, is truly amazing -- warm, patient, and so talented. She walked us through every step perfectly, made everything feel easy and fun, and made sure everyone left with something beautiful. Highly recommend this studio for a girls' night, special event, or just a creative escape. Can't wait to come back!

Wow! Just as the saying goes "As go the leader as go the people" Well this is how I feel about art…read more If the artist is original and gifted with vision, the studio will be an experience that not only enlightens but also inspires. 4th Dimension Studio is just this such of a place. As a very diverse person and artist myself I am always looking for fresh and innovative forums of art. So far I have never been disappointed when I encounter 4th Dimension Studio! Thank you 4th Dimension for keeping progressive perspectives in the world of art. Cheers!!!!

We've been going to Mission Art Center for about a year now, and my 8-year-old daughter absolutely…read moreloves it. She had attended another art studio for a couple of years before switching here, and Mission Art has been a much better fit for her. What I especially appreciate is that the instructors give her plenty of freedom to create her own pieces while still providing guidance and adjusting the instruction to her level. She feels encouraged rather than restricted, which has really helped her enjoy art even more. The student-to-instructor ratio is also excellent. There are usually two instructors with only about six or seven kids, so everyone gets plenty of individual attention. Overall, we've had a wonderful experience at Mission Art Center. My daughter genuinely looks forward to going, and I'm very happy we found this place. Highly recommend!

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.

My 11 year old (Priscilla) has been taking art & clay classes for quite some time now, she has…read morebecome more confident and has learned to express herself through paintings and clay/ceramic unique pieces she has accumulated to her private collection. Mrs Sher and August are very lovely/caring and wonderful human beings, i love my daughter to continue art as many kids have grown up with Mrs Sher and August i wish our daughter does the same, she has learned so much about art & clay and looks forward to her class each week to continue being creative as she keeps developing her fine motor skills and creativity!! Glad to have Mrs Sher and August in our neighborhood:) Eddie & Linda

I love taking the adult art class here! I've completed 2 paintings and 3 acrylic pieces with Sher…read moreso far. I've been an oil painter since I was a child. I am 27 years old, I'd say the class ranges from 17-70! There is about 10-ish people in the class. Each person works on their own piece- meaning she is NOT up in the front giving instructions while everyone paints the same dang thing. This is not the type of class. The classes are intimate, and very relaxed. She has everything you need to start your first masterpiece. Really, you don't need to bring a thing! You can choose any medium in the adult class- oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, ceramics, and probably even more. It's is SUCH a great place for a beginner, because you can try all the different mediums until you find one right for you, with no investment in supplies! This is rare. Sher really is a wonderful woman. She is as hands on or hands off as you need. If you need her to sit by you and walk you through every step, she's there. If you want to do you own thing she'll stop by with once or twice with encouragement and her two cents! Most students in the adult class have been going to her for years and doing their own thing, so she's always able to give extra attention to newbies. She is very chatty, it seems like everyone in the class is old friends. She has great stories to tell. I'm a bit quieter while I'm painting, but I do not find the chatter among the class distracting at all. Even though I've painted most my life, i was a bit nervous coming into a new studio- NO NEED! This is the most relaxed, kind group of people I've found. No artsy egos, no judgment, no pressure. Lastly, her children's classes and art camps seem to be super popular. Some of the parents are now in the adult class because they were jealous of how much fun the kids were having. How cool is that!

This school is absolutely the best. The staff is incredibly kind and truly dedicated to helping…read morestudents learn and grow. The facilities are great and give students the flexibility to explore and work with many different art mediums. I was honestly amazed at how much progress my child made in such a short amount of time. It's clear the teachers really care about the students and their development. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive and inspiring place for their child to learn art.

Her skills…read morehave improved so much during these years and last year she utilized the skills she learned from Art Steps and applied it to her art class at school. Her drawing got the principal Award at the OUSD Through My Eyes Exposition of the Arts. We were very proud of her accomplishment. In addition, we are very grateful for Art Steps' support when my husband lost his job two years ago and provided our daughter with financial help and the opportunity to keep learning. We really appreciate all the teachers here at Art Steps for their dedications and patience with all the students. Our daughter really enjoyed learning here!

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!

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.

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!
