Ocean Art Center - Laguna Hills, California

I first found Ocean Art Center while looking for a summer art class for my children. I was blown away at the art work that they came back with from their trial class... it was classic art lessons with still life, not busy work/arts and craft projects like so many other art classes I've tried. Fast forward, I decided to take art classes for myself while my kids are in school and I've learned so much. Julie, the owner, is the most patient and kindest person who will teach you art fundamentals or guide and help you through your own project. She is a wealth of knowledge, very skilled, and her own art work is amazingly beautiful. If you are looking for a *real* art class where you can explore your own talent, or give your children the opportunity to learn fundamentals of art, Ocean Art Center is great. Reasonable prices, ample parking, and such a great environment to expand your artistic horizons!

This place is a wonderful place hidden down in South Orange County (Laguna Hills). Ms. Julie, the art center’s director and owner, is the most patient, kind, and skilled teacher. I took my kids down to her intro class, and enrolled them in a summer camp and just after a week of instruction, my 9 year old son was using his new shading and highlight skills in all of his art he does in his free time. The weekly class allows them to continue to work on their big painting projects. Highly recommend coming down here to help your kids (and adults as well!) explore their artistic painting skills.

Ocean art center is a real gem of an art studio! My kids love it and have learned so much because Julie works with them to cultivate an excitement for art. She is a positive reinforcement to them, very patient, and the kids have a lot of fun while learning how about art. Highly recommend trying Ocean Art Studio and they host art parties as well!

Our experience with Ocean Art Center over the past six years has been nothing short of exceptional. As the proud parents of two budding artists, we can confidently say that Ocean Art Center stands out as the best in nurturing and enhancing their creative talents.

The instructor, whose patience and dedication have been instrumental in our children's artistic journey, deserves special commendation. Her ability to connect with kids and make the classes enjoyable has not only fostered a love for art but has also sparked a significant improvement in their skills.

My kids and I have been going to Ocean Art Center for over two years now. It's an honor to learn art with miss Jaleh. She is a true artist . She's also the best teacher. She's very knowledgeable and in her lessons includes history of art and famous artists and their work. She's also very patient and caring and encouraging. Her class is fun and interesting and İ always lose track of time in her class . I definitely recommend this class for all ages.

“Jaleh is truly talented and inspiring person and a great art tutor! It’s a pleasure to have her as an art tutor for my daughter. Ocean Art Center provides cozy and calm space, filled with Jaleh’s own amazing art. She has enormous patience with kids and enjoys spending time with them. Highly recommended for children or adults. “

The best fine art class in OC. My 11 year old daughter has attended to Ocean Art Center classes since she was 8. I'm very happy with her progress. I'm posting one of her paintings.
I highly recommend Ocean Art Center to everyone.
