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!
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 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 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 a lot of fun with painting and doing art projects in their after school program.
Our kids have been going to Art World School for quite a few years and are very happy with the experience. The director is helpful, skilled, and organized and we have appreciated all that our kids have gained from going to the school. Our kids say the best thing about the school is that it's not only a fun place, but a place where they learn specific techniques and actually improve their art.
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 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 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!
It's one of my daughter's favorite classes! Nice teacher, and nice teaching skill! I can see my daughter's improvement.
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...
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 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.
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.
Great place, my kids loves their drawing classes. Mimi is very patient teacher.
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.
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 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.
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.
My daughter really enjoys these classes and loves bringing home new piece every week. We appreciate small groups and attention to every detail.
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 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.
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 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 son loves go to Ms Mimi's art class. He has improved a lot since he started the lesson about two years ago.
My sister and I started learning here when I we were 6, and it is a great art school.
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!
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 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.
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!!
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 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!
The teachers care about art and are genuinely interested in helping students.
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!!
We've been very happy with the Art World School. The school offers many programs for a number of different times, and Mimi works hard to accommodate our schedule whenever we ask. We also appreciate that the school organizes fun and interesting events for students, and that students' work is nicely acknowledged!
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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!

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.
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.
