At U.S. Arts and Design, we are proud of our history. Founded in 2000, the school has been a staple in Southern California for over two decades. During this time, more than 10,000 students have participated in our programs. Our commitment to innovation and excellence is reflected in our implementation of Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligence Quotient (MIQ). This theory allows us to identify the unique talents of each of our students and help them to develop their artistic skills.

MIQ Kids
This class is intended for students, ages 4 to 7, and focuses on developing the creativity and imagination of students. Each class is designed with fun projects to guide the children’s thinking, drawing, and expression while providing the opportunity for playful exploration. This class also introduces various materials, concepts, and techniques. As students’ learning abilities mature, each project will involve challenging art content that will help prepare the child with strong fundamentals and comprehensive knowledge for the future.

MIQ Creative
We foster our students’ confidence in the intermediate class by further developing their skills, techniques, and problem-solving abilities. Although we begin to encourage observational/representational (i.e., “realistic”) drawing, we also continue cultivating their creativity and imagination. Basic but vital concepts are introduced and strengthened with lectures incorporating art history and vocabulary. We provide exciting lessons that are educational and fun to encourage a long-term passion for art.
