About Us
Come Experience the World Enhanced by Art
Turning Your Talents into Success
U.S. Arts and Design is one of Southern California's top professional art institutions. The first school was started in year 2000. Demand quickly increased, and our next expansion resulted in a school in Multiple Location. Our schools have been here for over twenty years, and more than 10,000 students have participated in our programs.
We incorporated Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligence Quotient (MIQ) at U.S. Arts and Design. The theory supports that students can show exceptional aptitude in a specific "modality." Our art programs and lessons fully utilize the concept to enhance a boundless imagination and encourage limitless artistic learning.
Art is for everyone to experience, enjoy, own,
and create.
We know that art plays a vital role in molding a child's thought process and helps to bring out their innermost ideas. Art is a perfect way for children to express their creativity and imagination. Therefore, our focus is deeply rooted in the process of inspiring children and creating a limitless, fostering environment for our young artists.
Appreciating Art,
not Judging Art
The process of art creation refines one's thoughts and feelings. Very often, people judge a piece of art based on techniques and skills used by the artist. However, a beautiful piece of art is a result of the right attitude, patience, and passion. We work hard to teach the techniques that allow our artists to express their ideas into their work.
Every child is special
Each child is beautiful in different ways and must be guided according to his/her individual needs. Inappropriate approaches not only stifle creativity but also kill interest. Our professionally trained teachers are trained to discover each child's talents and feed them with encouragement and warmth.
