Trying something new is exciting! Thanks for the amazing course and the great teacher who was able to make it interesting.
You really do help young creative minds to get quality education and professional job search assistance. I’d recommend it to everyone!
Amazing teacher, I learned a lot from her.
Her teaching method is for the student to experience a variety of artistic materials and techniques while she provides hands on demonstrations tailored to the learning capabilities of each student.
I enrolled this Fall Semester in two art classes, "pastels" and "figure drawing" and the good fortune of meeting Azita who has been an inspiration to me and the entire class with her artistic talent. As the semester progressed, it became increasingly obvious Azita's gifts transcend art instruction and dwell into the realm of creativity that only truly gifted artists are bestowed. I hold a Bachelor in Fine Arts with a concentration in studio art, and I can assure you Azita's art classes and instruction are priceless.
Amazing class, 10/10 :) I've been a student here for six years, and it has helped me grow so much as an artist! I've learned watercolour, pastel, acrylic, clay sculpting, and colour pencil; I've been able to create artworks that I never knew I could before! Each new art project really teaches you something new--- whether it's human anatomy, perspective, or different art techniques. The classes always have a comfortable, peaceful ambience and the individualized teachings really help you grow and mature as an artist at your own pace. The teacher, Ms. Azita, is also incredibly nice and always gives so many helpful points to help me improve. I highly recommend these classes for anyone interested in art or just looking for a new hobby, you won't regret it!
My son has been learning with Ms. Azita since 2017. She not only teaches strong technical skills but also encourages students to explore and develop ideas inspired by their own lives. Her passion for guiding students is truly exceptional. During the pandemic, she adapted creatively, and the online classes were just as effective and engaging. My son was successfully accepted into his dream school for Architecture, and we are truly grateful for the guidance and support he received. Thank you, Ms. Azita, I highly recommend ARI Studio.
My daughter has been taking Ms Azita’s classes since she was 4 years old. Ms Azita is kind, patient and has incredible passion for what she does. Her incredible ability to engage and inspire her students from all age groups is undeniable. The online and in-person lessons are always well planned and interactive in order to make sure my daughter understands the basics, while having the freedom to be creative. We find our active daughter immersed in the lessons and have witnessed her great progress in a short period of time. We are so happy to have chosen Ms Azita as a teacher and definitely recommend ARI STUDIO. I am sure it will be very hard to pick any other art school once one starts with her as she is at a different calibre.
