I spent a lot of time researching art classes in the peninsula and have tried a few others but I'm not aware of any other studio that teaches realism seriously like Jason does.

He doesn't group students strictly by age; instead, he assesses their skill level to make sure that students will be able to keep up with the rest of the group.

Happy Picasso is a delightful art studio that sparks creativity in young minds. The studio offers a…read morevibrant and engaging environment where children can explore a diverse range of art styles, from classic painting and drawing. What sets Happy Picasso apart is its emphasis on fun and exploration. The instructors are incredibly patient and encouraging, guiding children to express themselves freely while introducing them to new concepts and techniques. The studio's use of bright colors, whimsical themes, and playful projects ensures that every session is a joyful and enriching experience. Whether your child is a budding artist or simply enjoys getting their hands messy, Happy Picasso is an excellent place to nurture their creativity. The studio provides a safe and supportive space for children to experiment, learn, and discover the magic of art. They are also very pretty flexible with rescheduling classes. They tried everyday to accommodate our schedule for another make up class. I like that they also have a recorded class if we can't make it in person to make up a class

Meaning you'll find a different crowd here and as a most stem focused major it's not quite my jam. They are building new areas but some of the current buildings look like they are getting outdated and of course the weather is cold and misty, as is expected in the area. Not something I particularly mind though. Overall the cafeteria is small line moves fast but the girl working, while nice, doesn't speak English and doesn't understand either so when I ask her questions outside the most basic English she can't understand what I'm saying. That is super frustrating and idt you should be working here if you cannot communicate to people. Interestingly enough I feel like their bookstore is quite nice. Canada CSM and Skyline all offer different things and I noticed CSM has not stocked a lot of supplies that can be found at skyline. CSM does have those interesting pens no one else has and Canada has the study aids and more art supplies and gear. Maybe I will have a more favorable score after I take Micro here for my last semester but not as good at CSM or Canada in my opinion

Our daughter is 5. She's always been very interested in puzzles, coloring/drawing, crafts, etc so I…read moreknew I wanted to enroll her in art classes. We tried a free art class here and I got to sit in the class. The teacher was very patient and taught her to first draw each line curve etc then they used oil pastels to color, next they used water paint to paint, then they used clay to make dirt. Our trial class is the excavator picture you see. We were very amazed at how much she learned in that one session. We enrolled her immediately. There are multiple make up sessions throughout the week if you need to miss your regularly scheduled class for vacation etc and option to do one on one make up class as last resort as well. We love the staff here and know she'll be in good hands and learn more of her passion here. There's multiple classes going on at the same time based on different art class levels. I've seen kids make sushi with different color clays etc and I've seen kids sketching when I'm pick up or dropping off my daughter so there's definitely lots to learn. I can see why happy Picasso is so popular around here after trying it out myself. When my daughter turns 7 and if she's interested, they also offer digital art class which will be useful for her in the future as well. Teachers here are very patient with the students. The kids also earn stamps each class and can trade them for prizes too. Very fun and motivating environment. 5 stars! And thanks.

I attended ballet classes for 15 years under the instruction of Maria Spremich. This is NOT your…read moreaverage City-run recreation dance class. Formerly a professional dancer with the Lines Ballet Company and instructor for the San Francisco Conservatory Ballet, Maria has created a comprehensive training program that not only develops dance skills, but also impacts individuals' lives. A lot of kids sign up for only 1 or 2 sessions, but many of the young people end up attending for most of their walking life (my term for starting dance classes as soon as one is able to walk). This is due to the community that has been created. The program consists of a weekly class schedule, as well as two opportunities per year to perform at the beautiful El Camino High School Theater. I have many fond memories of preparing for shows by getting into our beautiful costumes, doing our hair and makeup (the one time we got to wear makeup and be like the big kids!), and waiting with great anticipation to go out and give the audience a show! After recently observing the shows from the other side, I can say that I am impressed by the level of the kids' professionalism throughout the entire show. Besides ballet skills, Maria teaches discipline, passion, and expression: DISCIPLINE: ----------------- The way the classes are structured, beginner students start with a weekly ballet class to learn the basics and become more familiar with warmups, technique, and combinations (short sets of choreography designed to improve technique). Intermediate students need to attend 1-2 times per week, and once they move up to the advanced level, must attend 3 classes a week. Two of those classes are spent building technique and strengthening the muscles, while the 3rd class is reserved for pointe work. I strongly believe that having such a rigorous schedule increased my time management skills, as I learned to manage homework and other activities around my ballet schedule. Also, Maria was patient yet held high expectations of all her students, which motivated us to be more committed to our study of ballet. PASSION: -------------- I definitely acquired my passion for dance (and performing in general) by learning from Maria. It is apparent from the way she dances and teaches that she loves what she does, and is therefore very effective in sharing that love with her students. To this day I can't live without some dance in my life. I learned to enjoy teaching kids based on how Maria taught us. Not only am I a stage performer in Broadway musicals, but I also choreograph/direct children's musicals. I attribute my skills as an effective choreographer to my strong foundation in ballet as well as to having such a wonderful and patient teacher. EXPRESSION: -------------------- I was an awkward kid and even more awkward teenager. And I mean REALLY awkward! Ballet classes enabled me to get past myself and be more comfortable with who I am. Dance is a wonderful outlet for anyone, but a structured class where I had a safe community to express myself was critical to my development as a person. TIP: This is a hidden bonus gem within the City of SSF. The classes are very reasonably priced, as this is a City program, and you will be so pleased with the value you get out of these classes. Sign up your kid (or yourself -- they have adult classes) today! TIP2: Ballet -- and dance in general -- is FANTASTIC for your physique! But ballet in particular builds a lot of muscle, in all the right places. :)
