What our young artists and their parents say about artCLASS:

Rebecca has been a great art tutor for our 11 year old son. Our son has been going to her class, over the last two years and he really enjoyed it. Indeed, he wanted me to write this review! He told me to write that ‘Rebecca always listens and helps me develop my ideas’. There is a sense of freedom but also very soft guidance and support to develop artistically not only in technical terms but also in terms of thinking or aesthetics. During this last two years, I believe that our son grew his artistic interest, art awareness and skills quite considerably and this is to great extent due to her. In the class, they will do very diverse activities (colour, prints, drawing, physical artefacts) but with the freedom to explore and develop their own concepts, directions and to some extend their identity as artists. Rebecca has created an open and creative space for artistic development rather than a typical curriculum led program. I really believe that most young people will deeply enjoy but also grow and develop their skills and interests in her studio – so I would unreservedly recommend her class. See you there! Theodore

Rebecca’s Art Classes for kids are the best! My son (8) and my daughter (10) have been going regularly over the last couple of years and they love it! They’ve explored so many different techniques and medium in both 2D and 3D. The studio is always wonderfully calm and Rebecca is super chilled. She seems brilliant adept at simultaneously pitching the class to different ages, aptitudes and attention spans! She lets them explore their own ideas within each theme and introduces them to new artists each week. I love how at the end of each class they peg up their work and discuss it as a group. There are a billion good reasons why art ( like actual art, not drawing an Anglo-Saxon shield) is really important for kids (start with self-expression, patience, observation, reduced anxiety) and Rebecca is another – I would definitely recommend!

I’ve been taking my 6 year old son to Parent and child art classes on a Sunday afternoon on Hornsey Road for a while now and he absolutely loves it. He gets a lot out of it and it seems to help him de-stress. I’m sure it’s partly the art but I do think it’s also partly Rebecca Fisher, the teacher, who has a lovely calm energy. She is super gentle and patient and really good at explaining and demonstrating techniques.

I adored the art lessons with Rebecca. She provides a calm, stimulating environment. I enjoyed working with different materials alongside children of various ages. We can’t wait to sign up for a new term.

What I like about art class is that Rebecca is friendly and whenever I need help Rebecca is there to help me… Since being at art class I have grown in confidence and met new people

We’re very lucky to have found the Art Class and love the variety of printing, drawing and use of different media. Really thoughtful teaching and it’s a great studio too.

I’ve been doing art club for half a year and it has improved my art skills so much. My teacher is so kind and everyone there is very nice. I always look forward to art club and I love using different ways to create art there!
