★★★★★Rashmi Saikia-CouraultOur child loves this place. Her improvement after starting classes here was very rapid. The teachers are very good.
★★★★★Ashwin GSmall place with really good teachers and artists, they really try to get the best out of every kid. They boost kids confidence in painting and drawing by challenging and guiding them.
★★★★★Yanira CisnerosMy son will be celebrating one year this March at Cypress School of Art & Design, and we absolutely love it here! It’s a bit of a drive for us, but it’s 100% worth it. I stay during his full two-hour class, and I truly can’t say enough about the staff. Lucy is amazing, and Kenia is so much fun! Everyone at the Cypress location is incredible. You can genuinely tell they love what they do, and that passion shows in the way they teach and interact with the kids. Their commitment and dedication create such beautiful results. I’ve seen so much growth in my son — not just in his art skills, but in his confidence too. We are so grateful to be part of this community!
★★★★★Amy LoynesMy children (ages 9 and 7) have attended art camp here and they absolutely loved it!!! We also had my daughter’s 7th birthday party at their Cypress location (the cute blue building off Kluge right by Kluge Tennis Ranch) and the kids had such a good time. They were well organized and everything went very smoothly! Each child left the party with a cute painting that was totally display worthy. I highly recommend this studio for birthday parties and their camps. They pay close attention to the Cy Fair calendar and have camps set up for every single holiday. It was a life saver when the kids were bored over thanksgiving break. Love this place!
★★★★★S MuchowWe love this art studio - from the talent of the instructors, to the warm, friendly atmosphere presented to each student/parent! My daughter has been attending art camps and classes here since 1st Grade. With the school’s guidance, she started painting “adult level” at age 10 and is moving to Honors Art upon entry to high school. The instructors really tailor to each individual’s level to create masterpieces! So, whether you are beginning art students or advanced, this studio is for you! Also, I hosted a fun-filled Mom’s Night Out paint party here where fun was had by everyone, and our art pieces came out cute even after wine!
