★★★★★Michelle D.Jan taught my Grandson Asa. He was so proud of his art, it gave him confidence in himself. The pictures he painted in her classes were so good! We all love Jan so much, she is an amazing teacher.
★★★★★Jett MaulWonderful art teacher with lots of provided supplies, great teaching for a good price! Kids and Adults classes.
★★★★★andiI used to take Ms.Jan’s art classes back when she taught in Tyler, TX. Not only is she one of the sweetest people you can ever meet, but she is a fantastic art teacher. I have nothing but good memories from my time there, and I still continue to practice art due to the inspiration from her. Because of what I learned from Ms. Jan, I am now an upcoming Junior in high school who will be taking Advanced Placement Art next year, and an online Pre-college program with CalArts. I cant possibly explain the influence she had on me growing up, and I recommend her classes to anyone who wants to learn to draw, paint, or even just find a new hobby. Ms. Jan if you are reading this review, I want to thank you. I looked you up to see where you are now because I owe a lot of my artistic journey to you. I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for me, and I know you will inspire many more kids to pursue art. Thank you, Andi Pearson
★★★★★Robby & Diana CusicMs Jan's class is perfect for our daughter. She has been going for about 6 months now and loves it! I bet Jan is one of the best Art Teachers in Asheville. She is fantastic at what she does! She has been teaching for many years and you can tell she still loves it. We are excited to have found her.
