Below are the voices of those who have actually taken the lessons and experienced the joy.
My son got accepted!
Enrolling my son in art classes with Carlos was one of the best decisions I’ve made as a parent. Not only did he cultivate my child’s artistic talents, but he also provided invaluable guidance and support throughout the application process. Thanks to Carlos’ expertise and encouragement, my son gained admission to Parsons, Pratt, and RISD -Mrs. Yu

Carlos is a great teacher. My kids love taking his classes. They are not only getting better at drawing, but they also learn how to brainstorm which enhance their creativity. Learning art history by doing art is the best way!

I got accepted at Parsons!
I just wanted to let you know that I made it to Parsons! I opened the letter and I couldn’t believe it! I was so worried…thank you so much for helping me for all these months. I couldn’t have made it without your help. My dorm will be at Marlton House on 8th street so I’ll visit often when I start school -Brian Y.

Yes, we will try to have live models once every two weeks on Mondays from 6 pm to 8 pm.
We currently offer children lessons online only.
Yes, all lessons are in English. You can speak Japanese but we cannot guarantee everyone will understand! While we are an art school, we encourage everyone to use English.
We try to provide an English-speaking environment to those who are preparing to study abroad, expats, or those who are seeking to practice their English while creating art.
Absolutely! We understand how art colleges operate and what they want. We will do our best to guide you on the right path.
That’s perfectly fine! We are here to create art, we are artists! We focus on visual arts and you will start picking up vocabulary very fast! We encourage fluency rather than accuracy. *Ask about our online English group lessons!
We provide unorthodox methods that will deconstruct lots of the things you thought as basic rules of drawing. We will show you a path that will free your hand and mind from any previous constraints or “bad habits”. We hold sessions where we brainstorm ideas and squeeze the best possible concepts for an art piece.
Lose your fear and draw with confidence!
