Brooklyn Paints — Visual Arts

My daughter recently attended Brooklyn Paints' visual arts program in Brooklyn, and overall, we had a solid experience. She’s 9 and loves painting, so she was excited to try new techniques. Each week, they explored a different medium—last week, she created a vibrant watercolor landscape that she was particularly proud of. The small group size really helped her get individual attention from the instructor, Sarah, who was very engaging and supportive. However, I did find the drop-off process a bit chaotic; it wasn't clear where to go, and it added a bit of stress to the start of our sessions. Despite that, my daughter came home every week excited to share what she learned and even made a couple of friends along the way. I would recommend this program for creative kids looking for a fun way to express themselves, as long as parents are prepared for the initial drop-off frenzy.

My daughter recently attended the Brooklyn Paints visual arts program, and overall, we had a positive experience. The sessions are held every Saturday, and the instructor, Mia, was incredibly engaging with the kids. They tackled various art techniques, and my daughter especially loved creating a watercolor landscape. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which she thrived on. One minor annoyance was the lengthy check-in line, which sometimes made us feel rushed. However, once inside, she quickly settled in and got to work. I appreciated the supportive environment, and it was nice to see how excited she was to share her artwork with us afterward. I would recommend this program, especially for kids who are creative and enjoy hands-on projects.
