I took a few classes at the Art School of SF Bay, including Key Elements and Academic Drawing with Andrew. The school offers a supportive and inspiring environment for artists of all levels, and the classes are well-structured to help you grow. Andrew is an understanding and encouraging teacher, and the lessons not only helped me improve as an artist but also reignited my joy in creating. After just a few sessions, I decided to sign up for Human Anatomy and Open Studio, which I am currently attending. I would highly recommend the Art School of SF Bay and Andrew to anyone looking to develop their skills and passion for art.

I took several classes here and in other locations of Art School of SF Bay as an adult artist. Andrew is my favorite teacher by far and I've learned a lot from him. I've grown a lot as an artist thanks to his classes, and I can safely say that any skill level artist who takes his classes (and takes them seriously) will also learn a lot. He's a friendly person who actually wants you to learn. Highly recommend Andrew.

I took Academic Drawing class since January and I enjoyed every moment here! The class is beginner friendly and my teacher Andrew helps me a lot on refining my drawing details. Highly recommend the class to people who wants to establish new habit of drawing.

My husband and I took the Adult Art class with Sara S. for 12 weeks during Fall 2022. We thoroughly enjoyed our class with her. She would start the class with a small lecture and demo and then release us to try on our own. Then she would walk around to assist and provide tips for us to improve. This is where she really exceled! She was great at analyzing our paintings and trouble areas and getting us on the right path quickly. For my first art class ever in my life, I have gained a greater appreciation for artists now. Sara is also very calming and chill in her mannerism, and she would hum a gentle tune as she helps us. We learned many different types and techniques. We learned about the skeletal structure and the body shapes and perspectives. We learned vanishing points, scale, shading, and proportions. We also got to draw a live model. It was a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend!
