My daugther takes Young Rembrandts in Palatine. I have not met the teacher but my daughter raves about what a great teacher she is, and what a nice person.
My daughter really needed a drawing class. She is in first grade, but she is two years advanced in school, and so she is much younger than her peers. Gym and art were the two things I worried about, given the age difference. Gym was not a problem but her drawing skills (maybe appropriate for her age) were poor compared to the other first graders'. My family and I have been SO pleased with the work she brings home from Young Rembrandts. The bird houses really look like bird houses and the snow men have personality!
Thank you very much for a totally positve experience. I would definitely recommend your program to others.

Daniel loves the class!!!! We love the fact that he is learning different techniques. He and his Dad are very artistic. Of course, Daniel still has to learn perspective, etc., but he we think he does pretty well on his own.

I am thrilled that the Young Rembrandts program is now being offered in the Cleveland area. We were involved in the program in Westerville, OH and my son LOVED the class. He enjoyed the teachers and embraced their instruction. I was so impressed with the work he brought home and the pride that he illustrated in presenting it to us. We are excited to be a part of the Young Rembrandts program here in Cleveland, where I know my son will continue to thrive in this form of art education.

The day after my son's first Young Rembrandts' class (on a Thursday), he said “When do I go to Young ‘Brandts again, mom?” “It’s every Wednesday, Honey.” “Oh. I wish it was every Wednesday AND every Thursday.” He wanted to go again the next day so badly.

My son said that he loved monster art camp because "I got to draw the coolest monsters like Kanga-Frog and Pencil-Man-Robot and the Flying Fire Hero".
His Teacher from preschool says that his skills and eye to detail is remarkable. These skills are what have instilled a love of the art in Mathew and the confidence that he can draw what he wants and tell a story. That for a mom is the key benefit YR. To see Mathew sit down and draw a picture that tells his story and his feelings is great and he has the confidence that what he draws is valued.
We love the program.

The Young Rembrandts' art program was a worthwhile experience for my son. Even after the first day, he was able to see progress in his drawing and be proud of the result. It was a week of confidence building through learning to master basic art techniques--all in a fun and supportive atmosphere. He especially loved learning to draw the cartoon animals. We look forward to participating in another class with Young Rembrandts.

My son just finished taking your Anime class through Fleming Island Plantation. To say he loved it would be an understatement. It's the most animated (no pun intended) we've seen him in weeks.

My daughter Serena participated in your Kings, Queens & Far Away Lands summer art program. Even though, she was a bit 'under the weather' during the class, I can see a vast improvement in her drawing and coloring skills. I am amazed at the interest she now takes in 'art'. Before the class, she rarely colored or drew and if she did, it would be for just a few minutes at a time. Now, she will sit and work on her pictures for extended periods of time.

In Kindergarten Matt never wanted to draw. Now it is all he wants to do! Thank you so much for inspiring him!

I want to thank YOU for having such an awesome program! We all think it is great and the kids are flourishing! I surely found what I was looking for... the other day my son took one of his cars, laid it on it's side and step by step, drew it. I was so impressed. He said I just kept looking at it, and drew it piece by piece! Yeah!

Thank you for offering this course. This course is helping my son in so many ways. He receives occupational therapy and we have seen improvements since he began. His therapist told me this class really helps people with fine motor deficiencies. I am really enjoying the art work and the teacher is wonderful. Thanks again.

Madison really does enjoy these classes, and as a first grader, I have seen a dramatic improvement in how she captures her ideas on paper.

Young Rembrandts has given my daughter the tools to develop her natural artistic talent. The encouraging environment has also bolstered her confidence. At a young age we could see she had a natural ability. With Young Rembrandts she has been able to grow as an artist and explore many different facets of drawing. She now has a vast tool set which enables her to more fully express her creativity.
