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!

We relocated to Moreno Valley so our daughter could attend Garvey Allen STEAM Academy because of…read moreits performing arts focus. She is a 5th-grade student, Co-Captain of the GEMS cheer team, and was preparing to join the dance program. Over several months, our child experienced multiple safety and medical incidents on campus. These included being denied timely restroom access, an injury on the playground without staff intervention or parent notification, and a hand injury during PE where medical assistance was not provided when requested. Due to the school's no-phone policy, we were not informed of these incidents until after school. When we raised concerns, administration acknowledged staffing and supervision challenges and stated an investigation would occur. As of now, we have not received follow-up or resolution. Student safety, communication, and supervision are essential. Based on our experience, these areas require significant improvement.

GARVEY ALLEN IS AMAZING!!! This school gives every ACHIEVER a big opportunity in becoming something…read moregreat. The teachers are very cool and nice. Its honestly a super fun school with a lot of cool programs such as EA-sports, cheer, step, etc. We have fun house competitions and house meetings where you get to play fun games against other houses. I'm an ACHIEVER in Cheer and honors leadership and have fun doing both. If you are thinking of putting your child in this school you honestly should. The teachers here also care a lot about your education. If you are missing any work, they have office hours for you to stay after school and make up missing work. They teach us discipline and manners for our future life's. If we make a mistake, they give us reflections to fill out so we can reflect on our actions and learn a lesson for next time. Unlike some schools, we are taught respect for others. Here at Garvey ALLEN is honestly a great learning experience for everyone whether it's academically or manner wise. Overall, Garvey is a great school and great experience for all ACHIEVERS

I took adult summer classes and I can say it was one of the best weeks of my life! I was in the…read morebeading class led by Jen Ben. She is incredible. The whole class was a group of wonderful, supportive people! The campus, the food, the other students, and teachers and staff all leant to the overall spirit of the week, which was one of unity, respect and joy. There were curated lunch and evening lectures and music that also contributed to the richness and wealth of knowledge that I felt being shared. I highly, highly, recommend the adult summer curriculum to anyone. You will walk away with much more than an art project. Thanks to everyone at Idyllwild Arts. I will be back!!!!

In addition, a major portion of the proceeds are used to supplement art education in the Redlands Unified Schools.

All supported by volunteers! You won't be disappointed. P.S. the films have closed captions.

We came to know Obi Art Academy from a city-wide program....and ever since been with Obi Art…read more3-years now! So why Obi Art? If you just looking how to draw or art; there is always the Youtube or Internet. But with Obi Art, the teachers are not only highly skilled/credentials at teaching you proper techniques of drawing and appreciate your own personal unique artistic talents; but they instill or depart proper shading techniques, how to hold a pencil efficiently, hand strength and personality or attitude of each child. We WANT all that and more for our 5-years old and 8-years old kids! Very satisfied parents.....not to mention had won several Awards, coached by Obi Art too! A morale boaster and PRICELESS !!!

My son absolutely enjoys coming to Obi Art Academy. We tried several art classes and my son told me…read morehe lives OBI the most. The faculty are so great with kids and their experiences are phenomenal. We have thus referred several friends for their kids to attend art classes here and they all enjoy and do well here. The main teacher/owner, is really something else. All of the kids love him. His teaching style is definitely not boring and tradition. He knows how to engage with students and bring the best out of them.

They teach you basics, like literally the basics. it's mostly kids in the class but I don't mind it at all. The semi private costs $45/class you get good amount of attention from the teacher. They are very disciplined and VERY structured. it's money well spent because they give you techniques you can use for life.

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

So disappointed in this place I used to love bringing my…read morekids here to paint But the last experience has been HORRIBLE from start to finish. Customer service has really gone downhill. It all started when I made an appointment online at 11am when we got here nobody was here or answering the phone finally after over 1.5 hours I called and got ahold of someone who was extremely rude. And told me they don't open until 12.... I'm sorry your system made the appointment for 11? I spoke with the owner who is such a sweet person but it's sad that the people she has working at the studio are really taking the fun out of it and treating customers poorly. I wasn't going to make a post and just let the first situation go but after coming to pick up my children's pieces today and again dealing with rude customer service I feel like I need to warn people. Over $100 for crappy service isn't okay. Super unfortunate. Oh yes I forgot they waived one $8 painting fee When I went to pick up I walked in and nobody was there until I walked towards the back and was great as of I was a burden. I was the one having to deal with being treated that was as a paying customer. I am allowed to voice my concerns. Again I wasn't even going to post anything but people spend a lot of money at the studio and deserve to know

I really wanted to like this place because I didn't want to drive all the way to Redlands to paint…read morebut it's unfortunately not gonna happen. We waited 20 minutes for two coffees and two Oreo balls, just for one of the coffees to be the wrong kind. The painting is also insanely priced and was 24$ for a small chicken, they also charge you a 12$ painting fee, and 10$ if you're not even making anything and just sitting with your family or friends.
