Empower Children Through Art

MorningSun is an excellent school for nurturing your child's artistic talent, helping them develop creative skills that can build an impressive art portfolio for their dream college.

Morningsun Art is a truly remarkable place. The teachers here are dedicated, approachable, and genuinely passionate about guiding their students. Under their care and instruction, my two children have gone from having little interest in art to absolutely loving it and making incredible progress, which has been a wonderful surprise for me. What's even more impressive is seeing how many students, thanks to the meticulous guidance of these exceptional teachers, have gone on to gain admission to prestigious high schools and universities. I am deeply grateful for the support and encouragement my children have received. I highly recommend Morningsun Art to anyone looking for a nurturing and inspiring environment for art education.

MorningSun Art school is fantastic. They're a family owned business and they really take the time to get to know you, which is why I've been going to them for years. They really push you to improve your skills and help increase your confidence and creativity. They help you establish crucial foundations in composition, color theory, shading, working with different media, and more. No matter what you hope to do with art/ design, they help you work towards your goals and aim high. I've never met art teachers who believe in you more. They also help you prepare your portfolio so that it's polished and representative of your skill and artful eye. I feel much more confident with my art skills and I am glad I have solid foundations. They also help propel your skills even higher so that you never feel like you've plateaued. Additionally, their supplies are high grade and they help you feel proud of your work. I felt like I got better each time I went. I highly recommend going here if you want to become a more confident artist!

Attending Morning Sun Art has been a fantastic experience that has deepened my understanding of art. I particularly enjoy the relaxed yet productive atmosphere; the focus is on creativity and personal growth rather than strict guidelines. The teachers here are very professional and skilled. They emphasize foundational skills like perspective, shading, and composition but also encourage experimenting. This approach has expanded my knowledge of art and my confidence in creating it. In addition to the hands-on work, Morning Sun Art also fosters a supportive community where you will feel at home. Furthermore, the teachers also provide advice for applying to college or high schools. Whether you’re just beginning to draw or have a lot of experience, Morning Sun Art has something valuable to offer to every artist.

I am incredibly grateful to MorningSun Art and the amazing team led by Mr. Zhao! Under their guidance, my child not only improved her art skills tremendously but also created an outstanding portfolio that got her into dream university. Mr. Zhao and Oliver are patient and encouraging teachers who truly understand how to inspire and motivate their students. The studio’s environment is warm, supportive, and well-organized, with professional and caring staff. They even provided valuable advice for the college application process, which was a huge help. I highly recommend MorningSun Art to any parent who are looking for a place where their child can grow as an artist and as a person. Five stars!

我小姑子女儿去年四月移民来美，对于一个12岁的孩子从新适应一个新国度需要相当长的时间。 来美正好碰到要准备考高中的关键时期，按她的状况最多读个学区高中，经朋友介绍认识了morningsun­art 的赵老师，婷婷也有幸拜师于他学习画画。赵老师一直对婷婷悉心指导与鼓励，并且对于婷婷准备参加LGA艺考的想法非常支持，他的经验丰富...经过一个暑期的努力，我们及时递交了学校申请材料。 开奖那天真是心情忐忑不安，当看见孩子的档案里跳出来三个画画艺考学校全部发来橄榄枝而且艺术分是100满分被录取，我们是激动不已。 孩子说她的ESL班级只有她一个靠画画考上了特高。这里非常感谢赵老师，感恩！

We met Mr. Z and his family at the beginning of the pandemic - and what an incredible gift it has been to get to know them. Our daughter has really developed her artistic confidence, skills, and accomplishments through their instruction and influence; we particularly appreciate the family's positive and active goal-setting and their high standards for students. We would recommend either or both of their online and in-person art classes - each instructional medium is excellent and extremely well run. We are so grateful for Mr. & Mrs. Z and Oliver!

A huge thank you to Oliver, Mr. Z, and Mrs. Z! Oliver, you are truly attentive, dedicated, and professional. Thanks to you, we received an offer from the High School for Art and Design and have made significant improvements in our drawing skills. Wishing **Morning Sun Art School** continued success and growth!

We have been trying to find a good art drawing studio for my daughter in Brooklyn but couldn't find one. luckily, with recommendation from my friend, my daughter started attending class here, and she loves it. She always complained about drawing class while she was in Brooklyn, to be honest, we tried every major art studio in Brooklyn, but my daughter didn’t like any of them. She never feels bored while trying variety of drawing, sketch, oil painting… etc for straight 3 to 4 hours in MorningSun. If your child loves to draw or have talent in drawing, I strongly recommend this place. A young talent should deserve great guidance in their early life, and I think it would benefit kids tremendously down the road. 话不多说，如果你的小孩真的想或喜欢画画，你一定要来这里试试看。- 来至一个家长的肺腑之言

My three kids have taken drawing classes here. Not only they have built strong fundamental skills, they also established many positive attitudes and principles. Mr Z is a great teacher. He is professional, kind, positive, inspiring, encouraging and always has a big smile on his face. My kids really enjoy the class and learn a lot from it. They have won several awards from drawing contest and gain strong confidence. Highly recommended! 🌹👍

This institution is highly equipped with the best art teachers. Mr. Zhao in particular has been an incredible mentor for my daughter and guided her through the art portfolio process. I strongly recommend this place if you or your child want to grow as both an artist and student.

MorningSun Art School has truly helped me not only refine my artistic skillset, but also learn and grow as a student and person. Mr. Z teaches not for his own benefit, but to help his students achieve and reach their goals. Mr. Z has created a wonderful environment where students are able to learn and improve their artwork, as well as be inspired by his creativity and innovation. Learning under this school has helped me achieve so many prestigious awards, including PTA Reflections (1st place, Award of Excellence, Advance to States) and Scholastic Art Awards (gold, silver key). Highly recommend this art school!

MorningSun is without a doubt the best choice I could've made for an art school -- as a student of this class since the age of five, Mr. Z has encouraged me to further my artistic caree MorningSun is without a doubt the best choice I could've made for an art school -- as a student of this class since the age of five, Mr. Z has provided endless support to pursue all my artistic endeavors while also teaching me how to advance my technical skills. As a current architecture major at Cornell, I am constantly employing the skills I've learned at MorningSun, whether it's in drawing, painting, 3D modeling, or designing. The confidence I have gained from learning art here has been equally valuable in shaping the person I have become.

The environment is relaxed and casual, and yet the students are able to great works of art in their time here. The teachers are super knowledgeable, and have a lot of experience. All of them push you to succeed in every way, and it feels much like a family.

Great flexible and relaxed environment that focuses on building foundation skills and expanding creativity :)

I've been a student here since 8th grade and I have learned some of the most valuable drawing techniques and fundamentals. Because of the portfolio I've built here I was able to get into Laguardia High School as well as RISD for college. The teachers are super friendly and genuently treated every student and their parents like family, and each student was offered feedback that supports their own unique artistic expressions. I'll never forget the support I received here that granted me such amazing opportunities in my future and the memories of creating art in this school!

MorningSun Art School is extremely professional and caring, and has the ability to help your children get closer to their dream schools! 5star recommendation from a personal experience! My daughter has been in MorningSun for nearly 7 years. She drew her first painting in her 6th grade, and today she received an admission letter from Swarthmore College! If a platform is not excellent, how can it cultivate so many outstanding children! If you think your child is heading STEM and painting is too literary; then, my child's major will be physics and philosophy, does it have anything to do with painting? While everyone has high scores, your unique and excellent expertise will definitely double your child's opportunities! My child has loved painting since she was a child, but I also spent a lot of money and took a lot of detours until I entered morning sun art and stayed there for 7 years! Moreover, the tuition has not increased by a penny since the first day! How many art schools can offer this? Thank you, Morning Sun ! Thank you Mr & Mrs Z. ! 晨阳绘画极度专业有爱心，更有能力可以帮您的孩子接近梦想，5颗星推荐！ 我女儿在晨阳近7年，6年级起第一幅画，到今天拿到了Swarthmore College的录取通知书！一个平台如果不优秀，怎么可能培养出这么多优秀的孩子？！ 如果您觉得您孩子的方向是物理化，绘画太文艺了；那么，我孩子的专业将是物理和哲学，跟绘画沾边吗？在大家都努力刷高分的同时，独特优秀的特长，绝对会让孩子机遇倍增！我的孩子从小喜欢画画，但我也花了很多冤枉钱，走了很多弯路，直至走进晨阳，一待就是7年！而且，学费从第一天至今，一分都没有涨过！试问，几个绘画学校可以做到？ 真心感恩！

Great environment in general. Very clean and organized with enough distance between people. A wonderful place for kids from all ages to nurture their interest in art. In the process, students learn how to handle various art materials and understand how to interact with others. It's also an amazing place for students to learn other core values like responsibility and self-reliability. MorningSun Art is a community more than a school and is a great place for kids to go learn art.

**I strongly recommend their college portfolio preparation program** as I was able to get into my dream school with scholarship. Hundreds of other students as well achieved great results here.I've been at the art school for many years since I was young and I wouldn't choose any other place! I learned more in this art studio than any of my school art classes. Everyone in the school, staff or student, are super nice and respectful to each other. Your child will learn to become respectful and have a good work ethic on top of the art skills.

MorningSun art school helped me get into Lagaurdia and overall helped me improve my skills. I’m very grateful for the work they put into teaching me art!

MorningSun Art School is a wonderful family-owned business run by a lovely couple and their talented sons. We are so grateful to have found this amazing art school for our daughter and have been incredibly impressed by her artistic growth and confidence over the past few years. The environment is both inspiring and supportive, with passionate instructors who truly help students take meaningful steps toward their dream schools and a brighter future. A special shoutout to the owner, Mr. Z, for encouraging my daughter to include LaGuarida High School of Fine Art in her application. She successfully received an offer, giving her another fantastic option. Thank you for all your support! We look forward to continuing this journey, nurturing her passion, and building an even stronger portfolio for college applications.
