Before seeing the Groupon for this merchant I was not award of their existence. My daughter and a friend participated in an after-school sketching class and thoroughly enjoyed their experience.

After having just one lesson at FeelArtistic, our 10 year old son said he had REALLY learned some useful techniques about drawing. He said it was the first time he actually learned something in an art class, not just doing "artistic or creative projects". We are signing him up for more classes. Great place!
My kids has a wonderful time at your studio. Keep it up.

Michaele Turbak Says: "Just wanted you to know that the twins, Lexie and Lacie had a wonderful time learning the fine art from you. Thank you for all of your patience and kind guidance. They had such a wonderful time, they are still chattering about it weeks later. They especially loved putting their work on a USB stick so they could show off their work. It was well worth the money spent. Again, thank you so very much.

I met Jalal for the first time at one of our band rehearsals. I sing in a band where he plays the base guitar. After talking to him and seeing his passion for music and singing, I knew he was talented but what specifically drew my attention to his creative side was his brilliant abstract art display at one of the exhibitions. I was not only impressed but also taken aback by the splash of colors and the originality that he put into his art. It was just mind blowing. I knew then that I wanted to have him at my school to stir the imagination of my students.
I work at the Islamic school of Seattle as an Upper Elementary and Middle School teacher. We are a faith based Montessori school. I truly believe that a teacher’s job is to inspire, the learning happens automatically. I invited Jalal to teach art at my school. I distinctly remember it was his first day at school and he had brought some of his artwork to share with the students. One frame in particular had a story of his childhood. He shared that there was a mosque right across his home and he admired it so much that he felt like capturing his nostalgic memories onto paper. The drawing was very simple and it was done only with the use of charcoal, but the effect was extraordinary. It was this story that moved Mohammed M (a fifth grade student) and a genius was discovered.
Immediately after Jalal left, I saw he was up to something. He finished his lunch quickly and chose to be in the classroom during the recess time. The day was over and we all had forgotten about this over the weekend except Mohammed. On Monday, he came to the classroom and handed over something to me and Angelique (my co-teacher). It was the exact replica of the mosque shaded with charcoal that Jalal had brought in. It was truly an ‘Ah ha’ moment for me. We were awe struck by the sincerity; focus, passion and genius of this child. The whole class was very proud of him and applauded him for his effort.
I truly give credit to Jalal. The moment he walked into our classroom I knew he had bonded with the students. It was rather pleasing when I heard him talk in his first class about why we see the colors the way they are instead of colors itself and why would someone draw instead of what to draw. As Jalal always says, “Everyone is an artist”, I see he truly lives this philosophy.
If looking at the master’s art can inspire a child so much then I am convinced that learning from the master himself can do wonders.
