I have been a student at Art School 99 for 3+ years now and highly recommend it. Art & Science are synergistic and enjoyable together for me. Alexandra Rozenman is an accomplished professional artist and also the best teacher I ever had-- patient, kind and open to new ideas. The school is very well organized and a vibrant community. Reasonable price, appropriate materials included. It was and still is a great finding.

We just just finished the Teen Vacation Camp 2/20, basically Arts & Crafts in Sunday School. Kid reported spending one morning watching Netflix on the cell phone (free at home), found the program boring and didn’t want to finish it. The projects were mostly paper based, with inspired techniques like a eight Fruit Loops glued to a small canvas. Minimal throwing for ceramics, one session or so. Lunches in Newtonville were reportedly nice. I wish I had given the $375 to medical research instead.

Alexandra Rozenman was born to be a teacher-- inspiring, very smart & funny in a good way. She knows her art in depth. The atmosphere among the students is lively, friendly and you learn at your own pace. It took me a while to start painting-- my work is very analytical and my soul really needed some balance. I wish I had done it sooner-- I feel recharged and full of ideas. Her studio is also in a conducive place, a converted charming old building in a quiet area in Somerville. Plenty of a parking (a must for me). Great experience and I´ll be signing up for more.
