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.
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.
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.
Great place, my kids loves their drawing classes. Mimi is very patient teacher.
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!
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.
My brother Arthur is 9 years old and I am 12. We have been here for quite some time and have made a lot of progress in getting better at art. I highly recommend this to everyone who wants to improve their art ability.
My daughter stared art class with Mimi just few month,But she love to go,Mimi is a professional art teacher,She is very patient and have way to teach little kids leaning art, Since my daughter study drawing with Mimi, she learn a lot of knowledge,and could draw a beautiful picture I am so happy to find a good teacher for her,so I highly recommend Mimi teacher and her art school.
My son is always excited to attend Mimi’s art class, started 3 years ago. Mimi is very kind and patient with the kids, and helps them to gradually develop various artistic skills. I can see noticeable improvements in the artwork that was brought home every few weeks. The complexities of the artworks also increased over time. My son seems to be able to learn all these skills while having fun in the class. Highly recommend this teacher.
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.
What a gem! We've been very pleased with the wonderful after-school program and no-school day program at Art World School. My kindergartner loves the program and hardly wants to leave at the end of the day. Mimi is professional, courteous and responsive, and the teachers are kind, skilled and encouraging.
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!
Very patient teacher. My kid enjoys the time learning drawing there. Appreciate the flexibility of makeup class time.
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.
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!
Great teachers who are very kind to kids. My child learnt a lot about painting in the school.
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.
Mimi and Jiao-Ying are both amazing teachers who have their students best interest I heart. I have been attending this school since I was 8 and I have never regretted it.
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.
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 :) :)!
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.
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!!
This school is great! I’ve been going here for 2 years and I have learned so much! I would recommend this place to anybody interested in learning art!
My daughter really enjoys these classes and loves bringing home new piece every week. We appreciate small groups and attention to every detail.
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.
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.
It has been three years since I took my son to art world school to learn painting. Their teachers are very kind and patient. In addition to painting, they also have clay class, calligraphy class, craft class, different courses let children fully learn what they like. My son also likes here very much. He has improved his painting skills and won a creative award in an international competition earlier this year! I appreciated the teachers for their efforts and encouragement!
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 7yr old daughter loves to come to Art World for their summer camps. She has a blast with all the art projects and is very excited to show-off all the crafts she made when she gets home.
Both of my kids have studied with Mimi and loved the class. My daughter, who is now almost 8, looks forward to the weekly classes and drawings. Mimi does a great job of teaching technique to the kids and making it a fun experience. I highly recommend it for your budding artist!
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 kid start going to Art world school since 2019. He has a little bit ADHD, hard to sit still and keep focus. After 3 years learning drawing, he has good observation skill and keep focus, sit for full hour in drawing. I m very impressed about how Teacher Mimi delicate in her teaching. I send my 2nd kid to her school this Summer.
My 5 year old just started art school. I could not have asked for a better teacher. Mimi is an experienced artist and art teacher. She is very patient and helps kids explore at their own pace.
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 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 kids love the class, they leave really happy and excited. Handwriting has improved and there creativity to think outside the box has drastically...
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.
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 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 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!
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.
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.
My son has a lot of fun with painting and doing art projects in their after school program.
