Right Brain Academy of Art

PERSONAL EXPERIENCES: I have been learning from Ms. Rebecca since elementary school, then later in middle school learning from Corey also. I am working on my portfolio for applying Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, and they have been accommodating and obliging. From the beginning, I always loved drawing and Ms. Rebecca brought out the creativity in me. Later on, in addition to having Ms. Rebecca as a teacher, I started taking classes from Corey as well. Learning from both of them has certainly made me a better observer in art and everyday situations as well.
ENROLLING YOUR CHILD: I believe that starting at a young age is the best for everyone. Ms. Rebecca and Corey will definitely teach and bring out creativity in your child that you wish to enroll. They are patient and very skilled in various mediums or art. So, I believe that if your child loves drawing, Right Brain Academy of Art is the perfect place to bring them to, and bring out the creativity of the «Right Brain.»

To say in brief, this is an amazing art school with the most patient and talented art teachers you’ll find anywhere.
I am an alumnus from both teachers of this humble art academy. I’ve had Rebecca for six years of my life, and I’ve had Corey as my teacher for five. Rebecca is more fine-​tuned with the younger audience of children, preferably ages 5 – 14. She is a kind and patient art teacher who aims, and succeeds while doing so, to nurture a sense of curiosity and creativity in her students. Some activities include «Art book of the Day,» where she brings out art books or children story books with pictures, as examples of different drawing and art styles for children to explore. But don’t let the children friendly side fool you, because she also patiently pushes children to do their best in their creative pieces and embeds the mentality that everyone can do better and shouldn’t settle. She is talented in many mediums of art, including acrylic, oil, and watercolor painting, pencil and pen work, etc. as well as knowledge in many art styles including realistic, abstract, illustration, etc.
Corey Peters, on the other hand, is more fitted for the elder students, from ages 10 – 18 and above. He’s taught adults and the elderly countless times and he has a natural sense with varying ages. He is also a kind, and patient art teacher but will push students harder and harsher than Rebecca, a practice best fitted for aspiring artists who want to know what it takes to make it in the arts industry. He pushes emphasis on the design of a piece, creativity, and foundational concepts of art. Many of his art activities are more traditional-​based, such as still lives, art studies, practice in perspective, and so much more. He teaches painting and drawing, digital painting and Photoshop, entertainment design, and illustration. Corey also shares the same realm of skill and understanding in various mediums as Rebecca.
Corey is an Art Center alumni and both he and Rebecca share years of art and teaching experience together. They are the hardest working art teachers with just as amazing patience and care for their student’s well being and skill development. I highly recommend you to enroll your children to this humble school if you’re looking for an outlet for creative extracurricular activities, or even investing in their future in the arts. Both teachers are exceptional in teaching your child in either d

I first began learning from Ms. Rebecca and Corey in junior high. When, in high school, I had decided to apply to Art Center College of Design, Corey and Ms. Rebecca gave me a clear-​cut idea of what was expected out of me, and what I should expect from the application process. They spent countless hours patiently helping me develop, complicate, then refine my ideas, and offered me guidance as my thoughts took on visual form. In the process, they introduced me to various media, which taught me to embrace experimenting with seemingly unorthodox ways of making art (who would have thought of using soap bubbles as a painting method?). They continuously challenged me – urging me to question my perceptions and artistic decisions – which, I feel, greatly improved my technical skill as well. These experiences helped me cultivate a complex understanding and appreciation for the process leading up to the final product (not to say that anything is ever, really, «finished»).
Unlike some of my former instructors, Ms. Rebecca and Corey urged a great deal of introspection during the artistic process, which I found really refreshing. Through the projects and assignments they constructed, I was trained to think inquisitively about the world and its constituents. I began see the world in my own terms, which manifested itself in my art, as it gradually grew more stylistic and personal. As a result, my sense of self developed alongside my artistic endeavors.
Here, I wasn’t just taught a set of skills. I was trained to think, see, and understand the world in a different way – my way.
So to all aspiring artists, «out-​of-​the-​box» thinkers, and challenge seekers: welcome home.

For anyone who needs a portfolio to apply for an art and design school, I highly recommend this academy for portfolio building. My experience learning from Ms. Rebecca and Corey started when I was preparing my portfolio for Art Center College of Design and Otis College of Design. They had the whole thing planned out for me, including what kind of material of work I should have, to the schedule and time range I had for each piece I needed to make, to meet the requirements and the deadline. They were very patient with me and did not hesitate to give me any helpful knowledge. And even though it was all «Planned out», they still have me explore different materials, play around and experiment with different methods, and use my own concepts and story, to give my work the possibility to meet its full potential. Needless to say, with their help, I got into both of the schools I aimed for, and now I am an illustration major at Art Center. Without them, I wouldn’t have been able to do it, they inspire me to work for my goal, helped me through the tough times, and shared the happiness with me when I succeeded. They are wonderful teachers.

The teachers are amazing. they are both super talented, nice, and funny. One of the most important reasons I stayed in art was because of them. they are very inspiring and overall I had a great time working with them.

The teachers here are amazing! I’ve had classes with both of them and i learned so much. I learned how to sketch, paint, water color, and many other different styles of art. The friendly environment made me look forward to going to class, and everyone always had an upbeat attitude. All in all, I had a wonderful time there.
