Updated review: Attended a class with Kate Ashton and she is an excellent teacher. Smart, full of knowledge and fun. Learned a ton. Highly recommend!
Maybe you could start your painting here, but that’s just it. It was not much of teaching. I had an intro to oil painting course with Nancy. Maybe she is a nice artist. But she absolutely cannot teach. No system, no normal explanations. Though she even tried to print out some tips. That’s still almost nothing. You could just watch numerous videos for beginners in oil painting on youtube and learn much more. You only have studio time for your money. Another big problem is parking. You can hardly find parking space in the street. They have their private parking in the alley, but it’s organized as a stack or “last-in-first-out” system. Two cars always block all others. It could be not a big problem, if only people could be not so nervous about it. I heard so much bullying about that. I am not returning here definitely, the atmosphere is very unpleasant. Beginners class is supposed to be very encouraging and covering basics definitions. I had to research for basics myself. There wasn’t given much at the classes.
If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I took a workshop over the weekend and was so surprised at the attention that I received. My teacher Jen was so supportive and insightful. Really made me feel great and I was able to explore my creativity freely. Will be taking more classes here!
Cute school. Stopped by to a friend's piece that was on exhibit. Seems like a we're inclusive warm space. Really enjoyed the gallery and the class that was going on while we were there.
I can not say enough nice things about this place! I recieved a gift certificate to Art on 30th for Christmas which lead me to take my first class in April, Abstract Art with Ann. Tons to learn & so much fun along the journey!! I left with a renewed passion for art, new skills & lifelong friends. What Kate has created here is nothing short of amazing! Her and her entire team of staff and instructors are so passionate about what they do it shows and they willingly share their techniques with the students & their love of art with the San Diego community; its enriching for the community. Such a wonderful supportive envirnoment for everyone from the seasoned artist to the absolute novice. Its much more than a class room or studio space, it is a community. When you take a class there you feel the sense of community & love of art. I highly recommend taking a class or at the very least come to one of the Art openings and see for yourself!
