"My 9- year old daughter has been doing classes at Art School of SF Bay for almost 5 months now and loves them. Her teacher Hana has been wonderful in teaching various art concepts but also making art fun. My daughter’s projects ranged from clay Chinese lucky cat to paper collage to watercolour landscape. We are so grateful to have the school nearby."
"Teacher Cody hosted a paint night at Pond Farm Brewery just down the road. It was so well prepared and so much fun! We all got to chose our own impressionist painting, and he guided us through best practices on color matching, texture, and composition. Would 100% recommend to a friend and hope he does more!"
"Cody is such a great art teacher! I actually took two different classes from him when I lived in California. He is really cool guy and he doesn't take anything too seriously, so the classes were fun and stress-free. He is able to convey really complicated art concepts to us beginners. It was fun to see everyone's improvements over the course of the class!"
"I loved the art classes I took with Art School of SF Bay, especially with Cody Blocker as the teacher. He walked us through many different art concepts and showed us different styles and techniques that helped tremendously with our own pieces. I took a beginner class and he took so much time to coach me and show me how to improve on my piece, really grateful for his guidance and would definitely take more of his classes in the future! Thanks Cody!"
"Cody is a brilliant teacher who was able to provide great advice on how to improve my painting. His guidance helped me to develop techniques which included (not limited to) perspective and composition, use of colors, brush technique, applying light and shade; to basic geometry. Cody (and the team) took the time to develop these and other skills.... I would highly recommend."
