ABOUT US

School Profile

Art education is vital for young people's development. It enhances creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence, empowering them to explore their potential and discover their talents. Diana Art Studio was founded in 2003 by a group of artists and designers from Toronto, Canada. Their main focus is on youth art education and child psychology. They have developed a set of step-by-step teaching methods that not only pay attention to the basic training of traditional art but also pursue the creativity of modern art design.

Through our online and in-person courses, our program has guided countless students to secure admission to prestigious art universities across the US and Canada. Our students have improved their artistic skills and academic performance, and have been accepted into institutions such as Art Center College of Design, Institute of Technology, University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, OCAD University, and Sheridan College.

Our curriculum is tailored to meet the needs of every level, including primary, secondary, and advanced levels. Additionally, we provide courses that equip students with the skills required for university-level art and design work preparation.
