Sunflower Academy of Art - Santa Clara, California

August 2024 update!

Sent both our kids here over the summer for mini art sessions. Our kids are only 4 and 5 so we weren’t expecting them to come home painting like Picasso, but the skills they developed were surprising. Our son had trouble with coloring within lines, let alone hold a crayon properly. But his pen grasp and attention to detail saw so much improvement over the course of just 3 months! My daughter’s always been good at doodling but her drawing abilities have also improved! They love coming home and practicing the skills that they learned. Will definitely continue sending our kids through the school year!

Writing this review based on how much this program helped my cousin find her passion and pursue a successful career. My cousin moved here from Korea because my uncle got a job here in the Bay Area. For many years, she showed no interest in any subject in school or extracurricular activities. Worried for her sake, my mom contacted Sunflower Academy after one of her friends told her how great her experiences were with this place.

Initially my cousin did not seem to show interest in art either. But after daily after school sessions for a few months, something changed in her. She started to see improvement in her drawing abilities and this helped her realize her full potential. Fast forward 4 years and she is now painting like a professional and truly enjoys it. She even got accepted into many top art universities with great scholarships for a lot of them.

Even if your kid has no interest in pursing art school and a career in art, I feel that this is a great way to build a child's focus and character.

The tuition did seem a little pricey but isn't everything expensive here in the Bay Area? And if your kid is able to find something that they truly love to do and can land a successful career afterwards (like my cousin), this school is well worth the investment!

Building from basic foundational skills, this place is great for anyone from kids to hobbyist, to students who want to pursue their passion and education in art. Step by step, you really get to learn the whole spectrum of art and art mediums here. If you are ever in search for place to learn or practice art, you should come here.
