Art + Academy - Austin, Texas

Laura Branch

5 star review! My daughter can be tough to teach as she wants to do her own thing with drawing. She enjoyed the art camp with Ms. Erin! Ms. Erin has a great, relaxed way of teaching the kids but still allowing them to make artistic decisions. The art show was cool though not by kiddo's cup of tea but a valuable experience for her. I have already recommended Art+Academy/Ms. Erin to friends.

For anyone who is weighing options, I highly recommend Art Plus Academy. We will definitely be back next summer!

My 6 years old looks forward to her art class every week. Her teacher Ms Erin is an amazing teacher and my daughter has really enjoyed learning from her! I would definitely recommend Art + Academy to everyone who has interest in learning arts!...

My experience attending adult classes at Art + Academy has been so helpful to reigniting my passion for artistic creation. It has shown me a path forward in my life that I thought would be left behind unfulfilled. My instructor Erin listens, observes and finds the ways to guide me not away from any one approach to my art but presents alternatives and/or source material that may serve me better.

Great art studio (clean and spacious) for kids and adults! Supportive and caring teachers for my teens! The teachers always motivate my teens to explore and encourage their creativity. My teens have been long term students there. Strongly recommended!

I love Art Plus Academy. I've been taking classes here since 2018. I've taken many art classes at other places and have never had teachers as good as those at Art + Academy. In addition to creating art of a quality that I never thought I would reach, I've made friends with my fellow students. Going to class is the highlight of my week. I'm always so happy to return after the summer off.

I am thrilled with the experience my daughter has had at Art+Academy under the guidance of teacher Marlene Llanes. Despite signing up towards the end of the school year, it's been one of the best decisions we've made. After just one class, she was brimming with inspiration and enthusiasm for drawing. She'd come home eager to recreate what she'd learned from Ms.Marlene, and I noticed a remarkable improvement in her drawing skills after just a few sessions. Now, she spends hours engrossed in her artwork, a stark contrast from the brief 10-15 minutes she used to spend.

I appreciate the small class sizes at Art+Academy; it ensures that each student receives personalized attention from their teacher.The environment isn't overcrowded, allowing everyone to have their own space to explore their creativity comfortably.

Knowing that Art+Academy offers summer camps has us excited for the upcoming break. We can't wait to see what other creative adventures await!

Our daughter attends Art+Academy. For three years under the tuition of Ms Erin, we share that our expectations have been exceeded. Erin was pivotal to our daughter's admittance into a middle school fine arts program here in Austin. She earned our daughter's trust. The respect and genuine friendship Erin exhibits towards her students gives them the space and time to develop confidence from within. Erin is an exceptional art teacher. Catch her if you can!

During this lesson Erin highlighted artist Kandinsky. He studied the relationship of music to art and how it affects emotion in your color and brushstroke. Erin played jazz music while the students painted 🙂

Art+Academy is a fantastic art school! I appreciate the ease & flexibility with the sign up process and to a make up a missed class. The owner is very responsive. My two kids (teen class & 9-12yo class) have been attending for several months and love their teachers. In fact, because of the class make up policy, my kids have met & learned from several teachers and all of them have been so kind, engaging and skilled! I've been impressed. All the teachers we've come across really care about the kids as people and as artists and my kids feel that respect and care. We've seen my kids' skills (& art) improve with the constructive feedback from talented teachers.
