Creatively Wild has transformed my tween daughter's life. She always demonstrated a propensity for art, but CW has brought her to new heights! She has learned technique (drawing, proportions) as well as given freedom to try new things and think outside the box. She loves to paint and loves to create with color. She has taken online classes with Ms. Sally, who is an absolute gem and so professional. She makes art fun and empowering. S, my daughter, always says, "that she doesn't know where she would be without CW and Ms. Sally". We continue for mostly online classes (which are fab and very convenient) but have also done in person, Summer Camp, and Bday parties. Summer camp is amazing bc the kids are immersed in the art studio all day and given direction but also freedom to be creative. Our two bday parties were a hit and the kids (even those who are not artist types) really had fun with graffiti, dancing and more. This would be our second home if we could. I highly recommend this studio if your child shows an interest in art. We have tried other centers and they just don't connect. We/ She really love the positive, affirmative, and yet technical approach. They are...
Read moreFinding this studiohas been the greatest moment of serendipity. This is a real gem tucked away in NYC now accessible to everyone through online classes.
This studio is truly a hidden gem. I take landscape painting classes with Chris Anderson. She is a wonderful teacher. She is an accomplished artist and accomplished teacher who teaches college students full courses as well. I get not only painting lessons from her but art history, cues to art appreciation and a full spectrum experience. The classes are flexible and drive the fine balance between self discovery and teacher critique and instructions. Chris is wonderful working with all age students and I can see everyone from a casual painter to a serious student get value from these classes.
The online experience has been great and despite the challenges thatvare obvious to online instructions the studio has worked out all the small things to make it work.
I started with 4 classes with the intent to go off on my own and five months later I am still here.
I would highly recommend...
Read moreOn Friday July 1st, 2022 at 12:37pm CWAS turned into any parent’s nightmare. My daughter is a returning student who enjoyed learning animation with Maxwell last year and ended last week being abandoned and unsupervised as the buildings fire alarms and sirens sounded loudly overhead. All staff members and children were at Dumbo eating lunch. No one missed her or even realized she was left alone. She feared for her life and safety while begging me for help on FaceTime and I called 911 for help and rushed over to get her. To add insult to injury, not one staff member or the owner has reached out to ask about her well being or health after leaving her life in danger and with such a traumatic ending. It’s been one week. This experience is any...
