My 5 yr old has been attending The Plein-Air Art Academy since 2013 and absolutely loves it. She looks forward to class every week and never gets sick of attending like other classes/activities. Diana, the owner/teacher is fantastic with kids and transferring her knowledge of art be it through art history or the different projects they create. What drew me to this school is the fact that the classes are taught outside in the fresh air (weather permitting of course) focusing on the surroundings . I believe this technique is truly unique to other art classes in the Boston area. I highly recommend this class to kids of all ages!!

Diana brings into the class a real artistic atmosphere. You forget what you are worried about in your real life and enjoy fantastic, artistic, wonderful time while you are drawing in her classes. And the results. I have never though that I ever be an artist and I could make any good artistic work...until I met Diana. Now I take part in the exhibitions! Wow this is a real step further. Whatever your level is, youll grow with Dianas help. And of course you can check her website, all our works are there, so you could see what I am talking about. Highly recommend Diana.

This is a great place to study film, music, and animation! Especially if youd like to work for Disney one day.

Our Ari always looks forward to a class with Diana. Ari is not a very artsy person, but Diana has such a magnificent approach to teaching Art to children that she is able to engage everyone! We also appreciate that Diana introduces kids to Art history, by covering variety of artists & topics in kid-friendly terms at the beginning of each class. Our 5-year old was really taken with Greek mythology (Diana brought in the figurines to let the kids touch & explore hydra, Cyclopes, Hercules etc.) He also really liked learning about Picasso. As a teacher Diana has a great personality, patient, warm, and her enthusiasm about Art is infectious :) Combined with guided museum trips, and outdoors classes when seasons allow, we are thrilled with the experience our child is getting. Not to mention unparalleled creativity Diana brings to the studio -- kids explore all forms of art, from drawing & painting to sculpting, mosaic, making collages, creating African masks, working with yarn ... I am barely scratching the surface here.. Bottom line - I cannot say enough good things about Plein-air-academy! Its a magical place :)

Excellent studio for both kids and adults. Grateful to finally find the right teacher!

Diana has her wonderfully subtle and not so subtle ways to get people out of the box and out of their comfort zone. As a result, expect the unexpected.

Daniel loves the class.
