Art With Larisse

We had a birthday party at Arts With Larisse for our 8 year old granddaughter with 10 of her friends. This was the greatest experience ever and they produced some beautiful pastel drawings. Jade and Jessica were the best instructors and made sure each of the girls were engaged and had a great time. I would recommend this studio.

My 6 year old daughter has been attending the La Mesa Art With Larisse class for about 6 months now. She is really enjoying herself and hasn’t asked to quit, which for a 6 year old attention span says a lot. The classes are an hour and fifteen minutes with a little wrap up art show discussing what each artist worked on that day the last 5 minutes of class. They ask you to drop your child off and pick up and pay for the sessions at the beginning of each month. If you are attending Tuesday classes you would pay for the number of Tuesday sessions that month on the first Tuesday of the month. Each session is 20 dollars. If you decided to continue the class you will be asked to buy supplies, the pastels cost $ 40, which is a good price (I compared online because I’m always interested to see if «buying supplies» means ripping you off) it’s a bargain. Eventually I believe she will need to buy the next level supplies which is to be expected in any art class.
If you miss a class you do not get your money back but you can schedule a free make-​up art session. I believe the first class is free or I used a groupon for my daughters first 4 sessions to see if she would like it.
Give it a shot if you can find an open seat :)

This is by far, hands down, the BEST art studio out there. My girls have learned so much and they truly do teach the fine arts. We were sad to have moved away and haven’t found a studio even comparing to a tenth of this studios capabilities. Larisse, Mary, Morgan, and all the other instructors are top notch. We can’t wait to move back to San Diego to resume classes again.

My daughter has attended ‘Art with Larisse’ for two years. The Staff is friendly and very professional. I highly recommend this studio for young, aspiring artists.
