Aspire Art Studios

My daughter began attending Aspire Art from the age of six until thirteen years old. In 2003, the school had been known as Kim Art and she went every summer. Her self-​confidence and her artistic ability grew. She learned to use acrylic, water color, oil painting and color pencil. Even her junior high school art teacher was impressed with her creativity and technique. Also, she is great friends with Ms. Clare and Ms. Tiffany.
On her last summer break before applying for college, my daughter volunteered at Aspire Art to help with the younger students and with chores. For her, it was an ideal opportunity for community service credit and to be with the friends she grew up with.
Aspire Art studio fosters a positive learning environment. The art teachers guide the students on project choices and encourage them to accomplish their tasks. It is an enriching experience for any child to take art lessons at Aspire Art.

I would like to give SSS. Superior Art center, Super teacher with Superb staffs. My child have been attending art center for more then 8 years. Her art have been approving ever since she started and now we are looking to applying at Orange County art school.
Thank you so much for you unconditional love and support. Tiffany your the best.

I had a fantastic experience attending classes at Aspire Art Studios back when they were in a different location from when I was age 15 — 18. It was super fun and going there was often my favorite part of the week when I was a teenager.
Before attending classes there, I was interested in art and had always drawn things, but had no idea otherwise how I felt about it and my skills weren’t there. The teachers at Aspire are all accomplished and trained artists and really work with their students to advance their drawing and painting ability. The instructors are all immensely passionate about what they do and you can tell that they are teaching there more than it just being a job.
Unlike other art classes I had attended before going to Aspire, my teacher, Tiffany, took the interests I already had and encouraged me to pursue them even further. We explored a variety of different mediums and when I had an idea for something, Tiffany would bounce off of it and work with me to make it even better. 5 years later I am an illustrator and just finishing up a bachelor’s of arts in Illustration. Aspire Studios helped to develop a passion for art in me and I don’t know if I’d be in the same place as I am now if I hadn’t attended classes here.
So whether your child already is an aspiring artist or just likes art and needs something to do after school, I truly recommend enrolling them in classes here!

My child has been coming here since first grade. Wonderful, knowledgeable staff — who all have a passion for teaching the arts to children. What sets this studio apart is they focus on foundational art instruction — no tracing, no filling in what the teacher pencils — it’s all from the children themselves no matter how little they are. They teach perspective, proportion, lighting/​shading, color theory and even digital art. They practice various mediums — oil and soft pastels, watercolors, colored pencil, oil and acrylic paints. Studio is warm and friendly — bright with great light and bustling with positive energy.
And the summer camps are educational and a BLAST! The variety of art and crafts is impressive — each project is thoughtfully chosen, to familiarize children with a specific technique/​medium.
Definitely a great place to take your kids if they have a passion for art.

My son started at Aspire Art Studios a little over 2 years ago and all I can say is that he LOVES it. Its the one after school activity that he looks forward to every week. I really like how they introduce different mediums for drawing. And what can I say about the teachers– they are awesome! Aspire Art is highly recommended for anyone looking to learn how to draw.

My kids have been attending Aspire Art Studios since age 3. One of them was accepted to the Visual Arts Conservatory at Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA) this year, and the other is preparing her portfolio and upcoming audition. My daughter’s acceptance into OCSA is largely due to the outstanding teaching staff, especially Miss Tiffany whose tireless efforts and guidance was instrumental for her success. The staff also assisted and comforted her while she was going through chemotherapy for leukemia. We are extremely appreciative to all the staff at Aspire and strongly recommend and encourage any child interested in art to tryout a class.

The best decision I ever made was to sign my daughter up for an art class at Aspire Art when she was in kindergarten. It has been almost 3 years and she still loves coming every Saturday morning. The teachers are wonderful and caring. They will also give you honest feedback about your child, which I very much appreciate. Now my son is taking classes here also and he has a great time!

I’ve been taking art classes for about 2 years before I had to leave for college and I loved it! All the teachers are extremely friendly and really know how to help and guide their students. Not only do they teach you the fundamentals, but they do so in a way that is fun and enjoyable. The first time I came inside the studio, I was amazed at how talented every single student was, despite their ages. They have even managed to turn me who had no interest, no knowledge, and no talent in art to eventually creating my own art composition and loving art. I have tried and learned about so many art mediums and wished I could have started my classes earlier. I have taken art classes before and didn’t have as good as an experience as I did at this studio. 5 stars for amazing teachers, fun environment, and overall a great experience. Highly recommend Aspire Art Studios!

My daughter has been going to Aspire for the past 2 ½ years and loves it! The teachers are great and I only have positive things to say about Aspire. The progression in her drawing and thought process about how to draw has increased steadily over the 2 ½ years and her confidence in her ability has also increased. A big thank you to Ms. Tiffany and the rest of the staff!

I highly recommend this place. The director and staff here are very friendly and you can tell right away how much they care. From the very first day, the director and staff makes the effort to speak to me, asks me about my children and make sure I feel comfortable with leaving them in their care. I see them talking to my children in a very respectful and professional manner; they are patient and they listen to what each child wants to do and wants to learn in art.
The place is also very clean, which is amazing to me since they work with glitter, paint, glue… etc. Their price is a bit high, but I think it’s worth it… especially when I see how excited my children are to go there and how happy they are to show me what they’ve done in class.

Aspire Art Studios is awesome for so many reasons. From the age of 10 to the age of 18 (When I began, it was still called Kim Art! I feel old writing this review.), I spent my Saturday mornings drawing and painting with the wonderful art teachers here.
Here are several reasons why I love this studio:
–I really learned a good foundation for drawing here – from drawing basic still life to developing my own voice in my art.
–The teachers are real-​life, art-​loving, practicing artists, not just people teaching art because they have no other source of income. Also, the teachers are just solid people with great/​fun personalities (I’m looking at you, Tiffany and Ann.)
–A variety of mediums were explored during my 8 year tenure – everything from colored pencil, chalk, charcoal, oil paint, acrylic paint, oil pastel, etc.
–I really loved the sense of freedom that was bestowed upon me here. There wasn’t a strict «thou shalt draw this» kind of thing; it was more of the teachers coming alongside you and working with your interests, your passions.
I had a really good time at this studio during my adolescence; this studio was certainly a catalyst in making me love art more and creating good art. Overall, 10/​10, must recommend.

I used to be a student of Aspire Art studios as a teen. I have really fond memories of this place and through out the years I have introduced the school to many of my friends and their kids.
The teachers here are awesome — they really helped teach me not only how to draw and paint, but how to think. They were encouraging and engaging and helped me tremendously on prepping for my art portfolio too. I have made some life long friends and mentors from Aspire Art Studio.
I highly recommend those who love art to give it a try!

My daughter LOVES this studio. All of the teachers are very knowledgeable with advanced degrees, kind and passionate. We especially love Ms. Tiffany. Her patience and teaching methods encourage and nurture the love of the arts. My daughter liked drawing, but after a summer at ASPIRE, she loves to do everything artsy. Thank you guys for helping my daughter do what I didn’t know she was capable of ! ! We attached the black and white tiger pic… WOW!

This art school is famous for their style of teaching. Kids really learn how to draw here, building a solid foundation to continue their art journeys. The teachers are highly skilled and friendly. They know how to teach in a fun way to keep the kids interested in art. I would highly recommend this art school.
