Kline Academy student Alisa Chao identified as a gifted student by LAUSD

Kline Academy's youngest student Alisa Chao (8) passed the Gifted / Talented Audition in Visual Arts Demonstrations and is identified by LAUSD (Los Angeles Unified School District) as a gifted student.

She created her portfolio and practiced for her on-site drawing audition with us.

There were 1000 schools with 150 kids in the audition and only 35 students got identified.

Congratulations Alisa!!

Why take classes at Kline Academy?

With the impressionists and later contemporary artists, classical painting techniques were practically abolished. Trends changed and rather then incorporating centuries of painting knowledge, art schools basically “threw the baby out with the bath water.” During the Renaissance, painting techniques were passed down from master to student.

Only in the past 5 or 10 years have there been a new group of private ateliers in America as well as some universities that are trying to teach figurative painting techniques that demonstrate the magic that can be produced with a glob of color and a simple brush.
