Young at Art

This review is overdue. I’ve been painting here for about a year now and am loving it!
OK, so I’m the oldest student here, and I mean old, but when I’m painting, I can’t help but feel young. Two hours a week I get to create and play in the studio. It’s quite liberating. And since my home is too small for painting with oil, this studio offers the perfect venue for me to explore this elusive medium. The studio uses non-​toxic materials and stores your work-​in-​progress so you don’t have to fuss with these.
Moreover, the teachers here are so cool and patient. Anthony and Chan are great! They provide guidance according to each student’s skill and interest levels while offering techniques, insights, and challenges.
Here are just some of the reasons it’s the perfect art studio for children and adults:
All supplies provided and work-​in-​progress stored.
Flexible schedules (within set classes) and make-​up sessions.
Fun spring and summer art camps.
Parent & child sessions.
No judgment.
No grading.
No homework.

So, if you’ve ever wanted to draw/​paint but have been hesitant for one reason or another, or think you can’t draw/​paint, this is the perfect place to come and explore your creative side in a safe environment. Seriously, everybody can draw and paint… even stick figures are art. Classes offered range from beginning drawing to intermediate drawing to water colors and oil painting.
What are you waiting for? …just do it!
Sign up.
Show up.
Join the fun.
Put some paint onto your canvas and let the colors dance for you.
Before you know it, your composition will come alive before your eyes.
Cool…very cool.

Love Mr A teaching approach to young students. Very patient and tailors styles to his students interests.

I had gathering of about 27 kids at my home and we wanted to keep them busy with some meaningful activity. I called YAA studio and asked if they can send a teacher at my place. I also wanted to have drawing session with only pencil and crayons to avoid any other mess and they agreed on this. Instructor named Chan came at my home on time and taught the kids drawing for about 2 hours. Chan was a great teacher as well as great artist. He had not only kept the kids busy but also taught them many things in drawing. I really appreciate Chan’s teaching skill as well as his attitude. All the time I interacted with Paul (owner) to setup the event and he is also very nice and professional person. I have high recommendations for this studio and their teachers. Now I am planning to send my kid to the studio to learn further drawing.

Great class! My son started his 1^st art class today and was very eager and excited to come back next class! I think they do a great job and Jeni, the art teacher is great with kids. As a parent living in Newark, we don’t get a lot of extracurricular activities to expand our children’s minds. This place is a definite must try if your child is artistic.
