school of creativity in Irvine

Every week, we gather to create a new arts and crafts project incorporating elements of architecture, design, and urban planning. In our weekly classes we explore fun facts about art history, building materials, famous landmarks around the world, and architectural styles. We believe in a hands-on approach to learning. Through sketching, drawing, painting, and crafting, we learn how to think creatively and express original ideas. We learn how to reuse and recycle through art projects and integrate art in our everyday life. If you can’t join our recurring weekly classes, you have a great opportunity to try our workshops on the weekends.

We provide programs for schools and after-school programs, lesson plans and homeschooling curricula. We host art birthday parties every weekend, offering unique, personalized-themed art workshops. We also host art camps during the summer break, providing a fun and engaging environment for creative exploration. The process of making crafts is always enjoyable and encourages creative thinking, originality, discovery, and innovation.
