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.
Near to Findley elementary school, I heard that there are various courses, Including mathematics, Chinese, and art lessons.I am looking forward to their opening!
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.
My son has a lot of fun with painting and doing art projects in their after school program.
My daughter had enrolled in the school and learned drawing with Jiao Ying for 4 years. She is really a caring, patient, encouraging and inspiring teacher. My daughter did not only learn drawing skills and techniques, but also learned to put passion and good efforts in each piece of her art work. Among many many award winning students of the school, my daughter also won 1st place of drawing contest held by Oregon Humane Society for two connective years.
I have the honor of being the first to review AWS. My daughter has been to several art classes. She has a definite eye for creativity and she loves to...
Mimi is an excellent teacher. Our son loves going to art class with her. Every weekend we are so excited to see what our son has learned. Mini takes the time to personally help each child and works with them at their level and pace. Once our daughter is a little older she will be going to learn drawing and painting with Mimi as well. Highly recommended!
My son Dylan has been a student of Mimi’s for 2 years. He’s always asking me when his next art class his. Mimi has found a way to take all his excess energy and put it into a painting. I am very grateful for a happy son and a wall full of beautiful art.
My daughter started to take art lessons with teacher Mimi since she was 4 years old. Over the last two years, we have seen her skills and interest improve significantly under the careful guidance of teacher Mimi. With help from the teacher, she has been exposed to a variety of art media and has successfully participated in several art competitions. Even during the height of the pandemic, teacher Mimi was offering 1:1 online classes with same attention that the student would receive if they had gone to the school. My daughter looks forward to her art classes every week and I will highly recommend Art World School to everyone out there.
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.
My 6-year old daughter has been with Mimi's studio for more than a year. She loves Mimi and the class. Mimi is very patient with kid and gives them the many choices and suggestions of what to draw. I love the pastel and water color works my daughter brought home.Definitely recommend!
My brother and I have been learning art here for a few years now. The improvement has been remarkable, and the teachers are incredibly helpful and nice. Don't believe me? Check our Oregon's art contests winners. 90% of the time, it's someone from this school. It's something to look forwards to every week, and I am incredibly lucky that I can learn here.
Both of my children age 7, and age 10 go to this art studio. I am really happy with the teacher. She is very passionate about art and teaching kids. She pays attention to every single detail when she introduces any new art skill to kids. I would highly recommend this art school to anyone who is interested in learning art.
My kids love the class, they leave really happy and excited. Handwriting has improved and there creativity to think outside the box has drastically...
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.
Mimi is an excellent teacher, she is very patient with children, and adds enthusiasm into things like painting and sketching.
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.
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.
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 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!
Great teachers who are very kind to kids. My child learnt a lot about painting in the school.
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 6-year old has been with Mimi's studio for 2 years. She loves Mimi and really enjoying the class. Mimi is very patient with kids. Really recommend!
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!
Mimi is very patient and professional art teacher. My son love painting after half year learning.
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!
After my 3 year old daughter leaning drawing with miss Mimi for two sessions, her drawing skills improve fast. The class inspired her drawing interest.
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.
Both of my kids are taking art lessons here. The progress they made are impressive! And the fact that every week they can’t wait to go back to the next lesson says all : they love the teacher, they love the arts they made!
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.
My kids love the class, they leave really happy and excited. Handwriting has improved and there creativity to think outside the box has drastically improved. Very clean and sanitary and follows strict COVID protocols.
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.
Mimi is an excellent art teacher! My son has taken classes with her for the past several years, and it is wonderful to see how he has grown as an artist.
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!!
My kid has been learning from Mrs Mimi for around 2 years. She teaches kids the skills with interactive, also opens communication with parents. When my kid selected the pictures for annual art show, she, herself , knew the latest is better. We can see big improvement on the pictures these 2 years, thanks Mrs Mimi's patience and hard work!
My daughter loves the school. She has been learning drawing with Mimi for two years. Mimi is an esteemed teacher and Art Word School has reach history. I will definitely recommend the Art World School to my friends.
The teachers care about art and are genuinely interested in helping students.
Ms. Jiao and Mimi are amazing! I highly recommend them and Art World School. They will be great for your little artists. My 7 year-old daughter has been taking their classes for 3 years. She finds the time spent with them very happy and valuable. It is rare to find such patient, enthusiastic and knowledgeable art teachers that a kid can relate to!
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.
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!
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, my kids loves their drawing classes. Mimi is very patient teacher.
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.
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 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!
