What our students and parents say

  • Alice Yang - Alumni

    ArtCenter

    "Right Brain gave me a safe space to explore, make mistakes, and take creative risks. Everything I learned at RBAA— research, ideation, observational drawing, painting, experimentation with medium and process—form the basis for my artistic practice now.

    So to all aspiring artists, "out-of-the-box" thinkers, and challenge seekers: welcome home."

  • Helen Z. - Parent

    RISD

    "Ms. Rebecca and Mr. Corey are the best art teachers I have ever seen. My daughter's years of study at Right Brain Academy of Art eventually helped her enter RISD, a prestigious private art school ranked number one in the United States for design majors."

  • Andy Chen - Alumni

    Cornell University

    "Right Brain has been instrumental in sending me to and in my success at both Syracuse University's #3 nationally ranked architecture program, and as a transfer at Cornell University's #1 program. When my professors tell me my work is so exciting, beautiful, or far ahead of my classmates, I can only direct the praise towards the unparalleled instruction I’ve received from Corey and Rebecca."

  • Orlando Chen - Alumni

    ArtCenter

    "I've been under the guidance of Corey and Rebecca for almost 10 years. They taught me a wide variety of skills ranging from basic fundamentals of drawing, including human anatomy, composition and color theory to advanced design principles such as incorporating narrative into a piece and discovering design motifs. Thanks to their help, I was accepted into Art Center's exclusive Entertainment Design program."

  • Wendy H. - Parent

    Currently Enrolled

    "My 5 year old daughter LOVES it here, and that's an understatement. She tells me almost daily that she wishes she could only go to art class instead of regular school. Also on a daily basis, she literally counts down the days until Friday which is the day she goes."

  • Kathryn Chen - Alumni

    RISD

    "Going to Right Brain Academy of Art is the best decision in my life! I am so thankful Ms. Rebecca and Mr. Corey accompanied me in the college application process. They are always very supportive and give me honest suggestions on deciding which schools to apply to, what to prepare, time management, and most importantly, the portfolio. In the end, I was really surprised I got into all my applied schools, including RISD, ArtCenter, USC, Pratt, SVA, FIT, and CCA."
