left us a star review
I have been attending for 11-12 years, my sister has been here for 5. We both have progressed drastically from taking lessons here and highly recommend it to aspiring artists.
My son has a lot of fun with painting and doing art projects in their after school program.
I studied art with Jiao Ying, the principal and art teacher of Art World, for around 11 years and my sister started doing art with Mimi for 3 years. They are both very patient and great art teachers. I was able to improve in my art skills greatly, and because them I have won many awards for art. I'm always happy to be in her art class. They teach a variety of art skills, by starting with building your art foundation and moving you up. I would highly recommend you to come learn art with the teachers.
My son loves go to Ms Mimi's art class. He has improved a lot since he started the lesson about two years ago.
My two daughters have been studying drawing with Mimi for almost one year. They like to go to Mimi's studio on Saturdays and often talk about their arts at home. Mimi is very professional and good at inspiring kids. She knows when and how to teach kids drawing skills so that they can have a solid foundation to create more fun and enjoyable arts.
Summer camp heaven! We were worried our daughter would be fatigued by the full day camp, but we were wrong! The camps are structured with designated art skills per hour. Each day, we’d pick up our daughter, she was bursting with excitement, as she showed us her art and told us about her fun-filled day. As the week progressed she’d say “and today was even more ‘gooder’ than yesterday!” She really found this place to be fulfilling and a happy place for her. Thank you to Mimi for always going out of her way to be accommodating, helpful, kind, flexible and supportive - Mimi’s mission is to make the experience easy & positive for parents and fun/skill-based for children. At the end of the day, Art World’s mission is to provide a positive art- filled experience for both parents and children, alike. We will continue to support this school and their camps!!
The teachers here are very professional. They are teaching kids patiently. My daughter comes to this art school since 4 years old. Good school!
My daughter began to learn drawing with Miss.Mimi from 4years, we definitely recommend Miss Mimi and Ms.Jiaoying! They are so kind and patient with the kids. My daughter loves drawing since she studied from Miss Mimi, we know the drawing a long term study and I wish my daughter can keep drawing during her growth. Definitely recommend!
My 7 year old younger daughter has has been learning arts from Ms. Mimi for 2 years, has fantastic learning experience with her:-), the level of individual attention Ms. Mimi gives to each kid is amazing! My older daughter also goes to the same school studio, they really enjoying their art classes there.
Our 7 year old daughter is really enjoying the art classes at Mimi's Art World school. She has taken a mix of in-person and online classes and have enjoyed both the formats. Mimi's is very professional and attentive to the needs of budding artists at different skill levels. She makes the class interesting for the kids. In addition, we also had a small birthday party for our daughter here with 5 other kids. All the kids really enjoyed the fun art activity that mimi had organized. I would highly recommend the place and urge anyone interested to try out the free art class offered here.
Great place for kids to learn art. Classroom is kept nice and clean with nice decor. Teachers at Art World are patient and great with kids. They made the class fun and let the kids fully immersed in their art work. My daughter has been going to the fine art class and clay class for quite some time and I can see all the great progress she made so far, and how proud she is with her art work!
I have been taking both of my daughters here for 10 years. My older daughter started when she was 5. Now she is 15 and still taking class with teacher Jiao. And my younger one also started to learn with teacher Yan when she was 5 years old. The teaching process moves my daughters through a series of basic art training that progressively increase in skill needed. The kids completed a certain number of drawings with different mediums (oil pastel, colored pencils, watercolors and acrylic) before moving on to the next level. They also learn to work on various types and sizes of surfaces from paper to canvas board. The instructors are amazing and the environment accepting, encouraging and fun, but at the same time controlled. My kids feel so accepted and comfortable there. They love the classes and teachers very much.
My son has been learning with Ms Mimi for a couple of years. He is eager to go to the class every week and has learned many different art techniques throught the years. Ms Mimi is very patient and has the magic to work with kids.
The teachers care about art and are genuinely interested in helping students.
It's one of my daughter's favorite classes! Nice teacher, and nice teaching skill! I can see my daughter's improvement.
My son 5th grade loves to go to art school. Even group lesson class with just 6people 90minutes long still he learns a lot and enjoys drawing every week.
My daughter has been studied in this drawing class with Miss.Mimi for about 1year. We definitely recommend this art school. The teachers are so kind and patient with the kids. My daughter told me what drawing skills she learned in the class such as how to use watercolor to show different effects. I can feel her progress.
First of all, congratulations on the opening of Mimi's new school. Mimi is a very professional and friendly teacher. My daughter likes Mimi's classes very much.I really enjoy those drawings she brought home, they are colorful and full of imagination.
My daughter has attended the fine arts program and summer camps at Art World School and has enjoyed every moment of it. She has been exposed to and learnt various art mediums, and has had the chance to participate in competitions and events. Mimi has been easy to work with as a parent and staff at the school has always been prompt with replies and assistance with every question or request. All in all, the experience with this school has been extremely positive.
We have been sending our daughter for a year and have seen such a vast improvement. She now loves to doodle on her own and can now attach color to her drawings. The staff is great and Ms. Mimi is very easy to work with. Overall, great art program and highly recommend their camps. It’s a great way to keep the kids mentally stimulated during break!
Art world is awesome place for anyone to connect with art. Mimi is very caring, sincere , versatile teacher who takes art seriously. Her methods are easy as well as challenging for younger kids as early as 4 year olds to pick up! Wish I had meet someone like her growing up :) Art world has won many awards even though all the classes are about learning and enjoying the process ! We are lucky our kid to learn art from Mimi! He gets so many compliments from our friends! This is one class he looks forward in the week and one class for which he really tries hard to do his best! Their after school hours , summer and winter programs are great, they include clay art, dance etc. The kids keep looking forward for it ! Would highly recommend Art world!
My son has been attending the class for some time and he is really excited to try the techniques at home. I like the part that kids do not feel overwhelmed and they get to draw their favorite pictures too using the techniques teachers teach. In this pandemic time too, I see how well the class is maintained and all the precautions are adhered to. That made me feel safe in sending my son for in-person classes. Thank you Mimi and to your wonderful staff for making my son feel art interesting and fun :) :)!
My 7 year old started attending the summer camp / spring camp at Art World School from 2 years ago and has been enjoying it so much. She brings home multiple art projects everyday, from oil paintings, water color, to crafts like bracelet or clays. Every week there is a theme and kids get to exposed to different kind of arts. The instructors are very professional and friendly. The full day camp runs from 9-6 which is very friendly to working parents. Highly recommended to school age kids who love arts!
Mimi is very patient and have a way to teach little kids learning art. My daughter has been learning all different drawing styles with her for about 2 + years. She has changed from a little kid who was afraid of making bad drawings to a confident kid who can express her own ideas when telling stories. Her love of colors is intensified in water color and acrylic drawings. And most of all, drawing class becomes one of her favorite after school classes.
My son has been in this art class since he was four years old. The teach is kind, and my son loves going to the class every week.
We have been so pleased with Art World School for our daughter! The art work she brings home blows us away and she is so proud with how she’s advanced in her techniques. There are precautions being taken to keep students and staff safe, making it a wonderful indoor option. I would highly recommend Art World School for any young artist!
My daughter says: Ms. Mimi is a great art teacher and helps me a lot by letting me work freely, use different materials, and draw many fun things. She has good rules but isn’t overly strict and her classes are just the right length. She has taught me many cool techniques.
My son has been with Mimi for three years now. He is a kid more towards sports, but amazingly love the art class every week. Started with some basic drawings using crayon, he is starting with sketches now, and we love the pictures he drew which is filling up the walls.
My 5-year old daughter routinely goes to weekend morning group art classes and occasionally no-school day camps, and she enjoys them! The instructors are knowledgeable and have good ability to keep the kids interest and maintain a peaceful and educational environment. The online scheduling system is easy to use. I love the fact that there are plenty of time options to choose from when I need to take a short break from my kid lol....I just sign her up for art classes. It's a win-win!
We love Art World School! We signed our daughter up for summer camp and she looks forward to it so much. We love that we can tailor the schedule to our needs each week and our daughter still gets an incredible art experience, learning new skills and techniques each time.
This is a great place where you learn art and have fun. I really like it here and I think you should try it too!!! 😍🎨 Every year, there is a competition to enter art and if you win, it’s possible to get 💲💲💲🥇🥈🥉🏅🎖🏆
My son and daughter have joint the art class for almost one year. I can tell their progression on the drawing skill week by week. More importantly, they really enjoy the class each time and have More passion on arts. The teacher is very nice and professional. The small class (at most 8students) is a good format for kids learning.
Great one-on-one or small group Chinese Mandarin class options. I would recommend taking their After School program Chinese classes or Saturday Chinese classes.
Both my daughter and son are taking Art Classes with Mimi for many years. Mimi is not only an good artist but also a excellent and patient teacher with kids. They really love it and looking forward to taking the art classes in the newly opened location.
My Daughter start to learn painting with Mimi at 5. She fosters my daughter's passion to arts by trying all different kind of paintings. She enjoys all the painting classes and feels confident while doing project post at school. Her paintings are hanged all over in our rooms and offices as perfect decorations.
Both my kids 5 & 7 have been going to Ms. Mimi's art class for over a year now. She is an excellent teacher and awesome artist, loves to teach kids and have lots of patience to teach them art nuiances. We certainly see progress in our kids, they started with sketchig a line and can draw and paint beautiful piece of art now, Love it!!
Mrs. Jiao and Mimi are both great art teachers! My daughter has been taking classes in their art school for 8 years. She started as a complete beginner and she is on more advanced level now. Mrs. Jiao tailored her classes suitable for her level all the time. Mrs. Jiao was also incredibly patient and extremely knowledgeable! I strongly recommend their art school.
Wonderful school with great teachers and art programs that caters to kids of various ages. They have great programs and Mimi has great patience with the kids. Highly recommended.
Mimi is very patient and professional art teacher. My son love painting after half year learning.
I definitely recommend the Art World School. Great art school, wonderful teachers, flexible schedule/programs. My 7y/o have been attending art class for an year now and really enjoy the classes.
Our family of 6, kids ages 8 to 14, had a very enjoyable time celebrating one child's birthday here. In two hours, the instructor guided our family through two art projects, both of the child's choosing. One was collaborative the other individual projects. The instructor was well prepared with supplies beforehand, gave good instructions so everyone was engaged, and was positive and helpful. We appreciated the calm atmosphere, too, and periods of silence while everyone concentrated on their projects. Unexpectedly, on our way out, Mimi gifted the birthday girl with an art gift, which I thought was a lovely, thoughtful gesture.
This place is amazing…most important my kids love it! Secondly they are very accommodating and I know my kids are in good hands!
My son started to learn Arts in Mimi class since he was 4 years old and it has been 2 years. Mimi is a professional art teacher who can teach little kids to master different drawing skills gradually and develop little kids to build interest in art. she is patient and very friendly to kids. kids love her. we left Mimi class this summer because of family move, however, my son still asked me to share his drawings to Miss. Mimi when he did good drawing sometimes. so I recommend her if you are looking for a great art teacher for your kids.
