New Enrollment Q&A

Besides unlimited samples we customized for individual student, peace of mind for you to clean after the artful mess at home, and meet all other talented kids/teens, your young artist will grow in their creative confidence, fine motor skills, problem solving abilities, critical thinking, persistence and social skills – all while having a great time and take a great art piece home by the end of class

Yes. The younger one can take 1hr or 1.5hr class, come to class later. Elder one can take 1.5 or 2 hr class. Our classes are not separated by age, rather, each individual is taught differently based on their level.

The month classes package  is meant for 4 classes with lower rates, plus priority to reserve spots and keep track of progress in long term.  If your child is busy can’t join 4 classes per month, don’t have time to makeup either. please book 2 or 3 of one-time class, which is at higher rate and not guaranteed spots (it will only release when the regular month classes are not full)

Yes, that is possible, the teaching will be the same, we will set up the unfinished artworks for next class to continue. 1hr maybe is the longest time your child can focus on art; or this is based on your schedule /financial decision. You are welcome to change or switch back forwards  the length of the classes on a month bases

Sure, we offer one-time drop-In class, you may book online or call us ahead of time to check availability. We also have art camps and workshops during the year, to cater to your child’s interest in art.

That would be great if they have taken art instruction before. We can help them in their study even further. Please bring in some of their artwork so we can analyze their level of study. Our instructors will discuss in detail the style, medium and direction they would like to pursue in their creative quest.

Yes, we most certainly do have classes for parents, and both parents and children get 5% off! You can book the class at the same time as your child.

My daughter, Katie, had a wonderful time! She said everyone was safe and very socially distanced, and she got a lot help and support from the instructors. We will definitely be back!

My daughter goes to regular weekly class and summer camp. She likes AL Studio very much and we can see her significant process she had made in art. Teachers are really nice and patient to young kids. I especially like the art show section which help kids to understand their paintings, improve their express abilities and skills. We definitely will continue learning here.
My 5 year old enjoys going to Al’s art studio. Recently she has been going for the spring break camp and enjoys the artwork everyday.
My 6 years old son has been in art class here for 1+ year. He really loves it! The instructors are very professional and nice.
1 thing I really like here is: when start a new painting, the instructor just give a sample of key part, then encourage students to use their imagination to add whatever they like. This is especially helpful for art! Because art is not just learn from existing painting but more about creation and expression.
My 9 year old daughter enjoyed her time at AL Art Studio summer camp. I enrolled her in the 6 hour class. This was a good fit for her because she’s very active and she loved the post-lunch trips down to the beach. I would have liked a bit more art theory in the instruction but maybe since the camp accommodates a younger crowd (quite a few 6 and 7 year olds) that might be above their heads. My daughter loved her teachers – Lily, Theresa and Darien – and I liked the points-based rewards system for good behavior. I’d definitely recommend this camp!

My twins has been at AL Studio since they were 4 years old, they has been enjoying to go to art classes. They are learning color wheel, chalk drawing, canvas painting. They are excited and looking forward tolearn about fine art. Staff are kind and professional, they offer flexibility to let the twins choose and explore their interests but yet still give them the good instructions on the techniques and fundamental. I would highly recommend.

My two daughters (ages 7 and 5) have been at the half day art camp at AL Studio this week and I’m honestly floored out how amazing it has been. Every time I pick them up from camp, they are happy and filled with excitement, filling me in on everything they’ve learned. They are excited to go every day and it has been a wonderful opening to the world of Fine art. Best of all, it is a fantastic value. Every day they come home with a new, fun piece of artwork – a canvas painting, a chalk drawing, a t-shirt, etc…. I highly, highly recommend AL Studio’s camp and will definitely be checking out classes in the future.

My daughter really enjoys camps and classes in this studio, we’ve been going here for more than a year. She is always very happy with her works and the instructors are really supportive and helpful.

How much does my boy love this Studio? he has been to four different Art Studios, this is the one he decided to stay! He told me the reason: teacher TaoTao always stay calm and introduce different projects to kids based on their level and interests, he is supper happy that he got to practice on Pokémon theme periodically:-)

We love this class! Our son, Jonah loves to draw and art in general and always talk about the cool colors, projects done. Also great for him to meet new friends and see his confidence grow! Recommend this class for anyone.

My older daughter started her art class here when she was 5. She enjoys the class a lot. She not only learns a lot of art techniques and also she learns how to express her emotion by the art piece. Now she is 10 years old and she is really good at pastel, oil pastel, pencil sketches. She is trying to improve her watercolor and learn oil painting. Now my younger daughter also started her art class when she was 4 and half. The teacher is very nice and patient. My girls really love her and enjoy coming once a week. Plus they also made some good friends during the class.
Bhavana Shah   commented in 2015  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We (me and my kid) really really love this art class. Tao Tao is a hands on teacher and she explains things wonderfully to my boy who is very much into art. She has kept his interest alive with increasing his skills at the same time. My son will be coming here a long while for sure!!!
My daughter has been studying in this art class for more than one and a half year. She really loves the teacher and the class. She learned to draw with oil pastel and water color and color pencils. I can see that she made a big progress in painting in the past one and half year. After the studio moved to the new address, the environment is even better. More teachers are there to help her improve her skills.
I would definitely recommend this fine art class to other people.
