This school is a class act…read more I learned more here in a year than they taught my friend with a "Masters" degree in art from her fancy pants art college (diploma mill) she was at for several years. Post graduation (and six figure student load debt) she still can't draw hands. But this place had me off and running in the first two weeks. The teachers were divine. Especially Tim. Not just as artists who truly believed in the methods they learned here and taught, but as human beings who appeared to take individual interest in every student, young or old. Years later, I still look back on these classes with fondness and am considering taking them again along with a new friend who wants to learn basic drawing skills, and maybe even progress to painting. If you stick with the curriculum, you will learn. Practice, and you might be shocked at how quickly you progress. Our class was a short walk from a coffee shop, and quickly became a little group who all looked forward to every class. I miss that enough I am thinking of going back. I felt like I was "getting" the material taught here after about two weeks, but I recommend the Free Class to see if it's for you, and if you like it, at least 4 weeks after that to really have a feel for it. At least that's what it took for me. But after that, I was all in. Like any skill worth having, it takes patience and practice over time. But it's totally worth it! People who can manage to respect class schedules, practice self-discipline and are eager to learn will enjoy this stimulating environment, the teaching methods, the skilled staff, and most likely take joy in their progress over time. Maybe even make new friends here. Maybe even fall in love with it. But entitled parents or choosing beggars who want refunds on FREE classes will probably not enjoy the full benefits or learning experience as they appear to have difficulty getting along with just about everyone based their other reviews. Consider the source before you let it dampen your own enthusiasm for the chance to take pride in your art or that of your child.

My child has been studying art at the Studio City location for more than 3 years and it's been a…read moreterrific overall experience. We have worked with Ms. Bryce and under her marvelous instruction my child is now painting masterpieces in advanced oils. My child enjoys the supportive instruction and the ability to chat with new friends who share a common interest in art. The studio is flexible in offering make up classes and different days and times to fit into my child's schedule. The individual attention my kid gets really helps her improve her skills and knowledge. It's always been rewarding to see my child progress from basic drawings to watercolors and now oils. My child attended the art camp for two summers and she loved it. The students always have fun at the art show at the end of class. My child is very proud of her art work, and I am so happy that we found Mission Renaissance!

She always looks forward to each session and feels comfortable, confident, and motivated while learning. Since working with Mrs. Alexandra, I've seen a noticeable improvement in my daughter's performance at school.

Mrs. Alexandra is patient, kind, and truly cares about her students' progress. We are very grateful for her support and dedication, and I highly recommend her as a tutor.

Overall, our experience with Blue Starz was just okay 2.5/3 at most…read more The staff is lovely--very kind, professional, and welcoming--but the value didn't feel aligned with the cost. My daughter attended the acting classes for a while, and ultimately it left something to be desired. Pros: * Friendly, professional staff. * Productions are nicely done * Makeup classes allowed * Clean facility * Convenient parking Cons: * Pricey for what's offered * No proper script book--only printed pages (my daughter now does theater elsewhere and receives full script books) * We never received any instructor feedback about our child's progress * Productions are extremely short--some felt only 15-20 minutes long. Family and friends would comment on why so short. * The fees to participate in the shows and ticket prices for the productions are high considering how brief the shows are I wasn't expecting Broadway level acting classes but did expect a bit more. In the end, it felt more like a money grab than a meaningful learning experience, so we decided to stop attending.

Melanie Florio is a phenomenal art teacher. Out of five art teachers that I have had, she has been…read morethe only one that has helped me improve my art. As an example, the images attached show a before/after of a painting I did. The assignment was a self-portrait. This was my first time painting a portrait, and I was having significant trouble. After several hours of trying, and failing at home, I decided to wait until the next time I had class. When I got to class and asked for help, within fifteen minutes--literally--Melanie taught me the applicable knowledge, and some great advice that allowed me to immediately improve the painting to a satisfying outcome. Anybody interested in art is guaranteed to benefit from her classes. Her energetic passion for art is contagious. It is also very clear that she understands, and has the solution to many problems that an artist may face. She has an equal amount of patience and understanding for the beginner student as she does for her most advanced. She is very professional, yet has a genuine humility that creates an excellent learning environment. The knowledge and experience that I have gained through Melanie's classes have been priceless. Even art books, which are my other source of instruction, are so much easier to understand now. There are endless things that can be said about Melanie's dedication to her students, but what she has to offer must be experienced. So, if you are looking for a place that will provide the elements needed to improve your art skills, then M Florio Studio Arts should definitely be considered as a choice that will deliver that and so much more!

What ever level you are at, Melanie teaches to it. Best decision ever!!!! I used to paint in high school and in college. However, I haven't picked up a brush more than 3 times since I graduated 20 years ago. Melanie helped me to work through my nerves and pick up where I left off. While being in class I have heard lessons of technique in various styles of painting. I realized that throughout my life I pretty much self taught. I have been on a journey of unlearning bad habits and learning much better techniques. All facilitated through Melanie! The challenge is rewarding and I have come out with some of the best paintings I have ever done. Give her a chance and you'll never regret it!!!

My son used to love school and love math. He excelled in it until he got a teacher who completely destroyed his self confidence which resulted in him developing a fear and unworthiness. It was awful. He started having a real emotional and physical reaction when it came time to do math and math homework so he just gave up. Instead of his teacher helping him, she reprimanded him which only made it worse. I found Mathnasium wth the hope they would find a way to connect with my child and give him the confidence he needed to shine again. I expected it to take some time but literally after the first session, his little spark was reignited into a flame that has been glowing ever since. His excitement for math is back, he looks forward to going to Mathnasium every week and I can't wait to see what the next few months bring in his little joirney to math greatness! Thank you to everyone at Mathnasium!
