left us a star review
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.
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!!
The teachers here are very professional. They are teaching kids patiently. My daughter comes to this art school since 4 years old. Good school!
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.
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 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 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.
Very patient teacher. My kid enjoys the time learning drawing there. Appreciate the flexibility of makeup class time.
My sister and I started learning here when I we were 6, and it is a great art school.
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.
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.
It's one of my daughter's favorite classes! Nice teacher, and nice teaching skill! I can see my daughter's improvement.
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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 :) :)!
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 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.
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.
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!
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 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!
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 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.
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.
Great teachers who are very kind to kids. My child learnt a lot about painting in the school.
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!!
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.
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!
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 daughter really enjoys these classes and loves bringing home new piece every week. We appreciate small groups and attention to every detail.
Mimi is an excellent teacher, she is very patient with children, and adds enthusiasm into things like painting and sketching.
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.
