Saturday Art Academy

My daughter studied with Ms. Mini before we move to Tucson. She is a such wonderful teacher and very patient. My daughter misses you so much. Highly recommend👍!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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 very patient and professional art teacher. My son love painting after half year learning.

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 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 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 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 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.

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!!

Started art class with Mimi since my daughter was 4, now almost 3 years she has been painting with Mimi. My daughter definitely enjoys this art class and is looking forward to sketching. I can see her progress with every piece of art work. Mimi takes time preparing class materials, and gives enough attention to each individuals at class. The best thing is that she is really a kind mentor that new techniques are being added gradually. This is a really good place if your kids are interested in art and want to develop as a hobby.

My sister and I started learning here when I we were 6, and it is a great art school.

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.

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!

Great place, my kids loves their drawing classes. Mimi is very patient teacher.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

Great teachers who are very kind to kids. My child learnt a lot about painting in the school.

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!

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!

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.

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!
