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.
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 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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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!
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 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!
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.
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!!
Mimi is very patient and have a way with kids for getting then interested in art. My daughter has been with Mimi for more than a year, she has learned to mix water colors on her other projects. Really appreciate the patience and convenience of the many make up lessons we took during 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 daughter really enjoys these classes and loves bringing home new piece every week. We appreciate small groups and attention to every detail.
My sister and I started learning here when I we were 6, and it is a great art 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.
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.
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!
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 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 :) :)!
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 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 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 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.
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 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!
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.
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!
Great teachers who are very kind to kids. My child learnt a lot about painting in the school.
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!
My son has a lot of fun with painting and doing art projects in their after school program.
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 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.
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 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.
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👍!
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.
The teachers care about art and are genuinely interested in helping students.
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.
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.
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 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 kids love the class, they leave really happy and excited. Handwriting has improved and there creativity to think outside the box has drastically...
