Oam Studios Art Academy 2150 Rheem Drive, Pleasanton, CA 94566

"I don’t have an artistic bone in my body so, Over the years youtube has been my sons teacher. This school has really great reviews so I decided to gift my 10 yr old son a 1 month class session for Christmas. So far, I can’t tell if his skills have improved because he has always been a great artist. At home (with the help of YouTube of course ) my son has ventured off to detailed clay sculptures. My sons instructor suggest he start at basic drawing on paper and work his way up to sculpted art. At the moment my son is kinda frustrated with the process but we will trust the process:) two more classes to go can’t wait to see what he’s working on. This just might be his second home✨"

"I found it hard to judge if my 5 year old was making any progress at all over the 12 classes she attended. Her teacher was hesitant to share details about what she worked on after each class. Asking them about progress always felt like an awkward confrontation. I think the studio could do a better job communicating progress."

"My daughter has been with Oam since 2016, 7 years so far. She got the chance to learn from very talented artists like Ms. Emma, Mr. Marcel etc. Friday night art class has always been one of her favorite moments every week :)"

"We love the Pleasanton studio. It is such a wonderful outlet for creative minds. The staff and teachers - Omar included is ALWAYS available to answer questions. No communication gap even during the uncertainty of the pandemic in 2020. The classes went from in- person to online to in- person back again, making sure ALL safety protocols were followed and parents were kept in the loop every step of the way. Omar has put a lot of heart into both the studios to make it a joyful experience for the children. Ms. Diana, Mr. Marcel & Mr. Issac do a great job keeping the children engaged."

"Remarkable improvement noted on my daughter's techniques. Now she looks forward to her in-person art class at Oam every week after taking remote classes for so many months with her previous art school. The program is overall well structured and communication has been easy."
