CalColor Academy - Fremont — Attraction in Fremont

CalColor has been a transformative place for my daughter's artistic journey over the past years. She began attending the art exploration classes at CalColor when she was in kindergarten, and her love for art has grown since then. The improvement in her drawing and painting skills has been remarkable, and it's all thanks to the nurturing environment and talented instructors at CalColor.

One of the standout aspects of CalColor is the quality of their teaching staff. My daughter was fortunate to be part of Mr. Alvin's elite class, where she learned advanced techniques and developed her unique artistic voice. Later, she joined Mr. Sean's sketch class, which further honed her skills and deepened her understanding of sketching and composition. Recently, she started exploring digital painting with Ms. Niko, and it's amazing to see her embrace this new medium with enthusiasm.

The curriculum at CalColor is well-structured yet flexible enough to adapt to each child's progress and interests. The instructors not only focus on technical skills but also encourage creativity and self-expression, which has been crucial in keeping my daughter engaged and motivated.

I would highly recommend CalColor to any parent looking for a place where their child can explore and...

My daughter has been to Calcolor for almost two years. Art class there is still one of her favorite activities among all her after-school routines.

I heard of Calcolor from a friend during a casual chat, and was instantly hooked once I talked with Ms. Lan, the school director, about her philosophy of children art education. I was not looking for a place focusing on teaching children techniques on how to draw, rather a place to liberate the splendid world in their eyes and from their inner world. It is our fortune, and the fortune of those who enroll at Calcolor, that the artist instructors there are all talented, passionate, and caring. When an artist brings her experiences onto the podium, she projects her feelings among the students, and that can have a strong effect because art, being such a medium as it is, can affect you all your life.

My daughter started her art class at 5, an age with openness to any experience that might enrich her understanding of art, embraced such disparate art forms including drawing, painting, printmaking, and clay sculpture. Now she is embarking on a journal to a new realm of art exploration. Calcolor is still our choice to present just about as much art experience as...

My daughter has been with CalColor for more than 10 years, this statement alone has already indicated how much we love this art school. The teachers at Calcolor all hold art degrees from top art schools, they are very passionate about art, they are active artists themselves and dedicated to pass along their art knowledge to the kids. The curriculum is well-structured; start with the beginner classes for younger kids which is really fun and on various media, to help younger kids build passion for art, then the intermediate level of class to build solid foundations of techniques for drawing and painting, then the advanced class tailored towards teenagers to perfect their skills. My daughter went through all levels of classes at Calcolor. Last year, she was in Mr. Sean’s sketchbook class, she absolutely loved the class. Mr. Sean is a great artist himself, his class not only teaches the fundamental sketch skills, but also inspire kids to explore new ideas, to discover beauty from ordinary scenes. The drawing my daughter created in Mr Sean’s sketchbook class under his guidance has won Gold Key Award in the Scholastic Art Contest.

I highly recommend Calcolor for any kid who is...
