Lebeor School of Art - Brooklyn, New York

My daughter began taking classes with Lebeor one year ago as a fifth grader - both in-person classes at BAX and online classes to prepare for the Mark Twain admission. She is consistently excited and motivated to attend these classes. They are the highlight of her week!

The classes are structured to expose the kids to working with different media (pencil, pen, colored pencil, watercolor, gouache) and different subject matter (figurative, still life, landscape). Through the teachers' guidance with techniques for using various media, help in understanding proportion and composition, and encouragement to explore creative ideas, my daughter's abilities as an artist have grown tremendously in just a year! She now has a portfolio of work that is far superior to any work she completed prior to starting classes with Lebeor.

The admissions prep class for Mark Twain was very valuable in preparing the two pieces and essay for the application. Mr. Leon understands well the application process and expectations of the school, and I strongly believe that this class helped my daughter gain admission to Mark Twain's art program.

I highly recommend Lebeor's classes for anyone whose child is interested in developing their skills as an artist!

Lebeor Art School has been a game-changer for my daughter, paving the way for her acceptance to LAG. It’s a space that fosters both technical mastery and creative exploration. The friendships and connections she made there were also invaluable, creating a sense of belonging and community. Highly recommend!

Lebeor School of Art is a wonderful place for a child to explore their creativity and have fun working on engaging art projects. My daughter have been attending this school for over 8 years and absolutely loves this class! Mr. Leon combines his art classes with listening to music and creates relaxing and productive atmosphere working with every child individually to develop the artistic skills and help to bring their creative ideas to fruition. Mr. Leon's students are also well prepared and get accepted to competitive middle school and high school art programs.
Highly recommend!

My daughter has loved her classes with the Lebeor school of art. The wonderful thing about the school is that they are willing to meet you where you are at the start, but they treat students like they are all serious contenders for important programs and opportunities in the future. With that in mind, there are structured, detailed and sophisticated lessons that both challenge the children and treat them with mature respect. We have done other art programs online and in person in the past. None has ever been as instructive or fundamentally skill-enhancing as the Lebeor School of Art.

Over the course of the year, they worked in pencil, watercolors, acrylics, gouache, and more. It's been wonderful to see the tremendous improvement and advancement week after week.

We will definitely continue with Lebeor in preparation for art focused middle and high school exams, but also just for the enrichment it provides. It's a terrific opportunity for real artistic enhancement and advancement. I can't recommend it more highly.

I was so happy to find Lebeor Art school for my daughter. In just a few months she has flourished and learned so much about art and herself. The instructors are very helpful, kind, and always talk to the kids with positivity. I would definitely recommend this Art school to anyone.

I wish I had more people to recommend Leon to. Honestly if I had the time I would sign up for art classes myself!
This is my 3rd child prep for specialized high school that I am doing and I wish I had known Leon for the prep of my oldest. We started classes I believe in late May, throughout the summer and I must say I am totally relax now and completely trust Leon, he gives me updates all the time and focuses/ emphasizes on the projects which my daughter is good at and enjoys. Leon is very kind , knows every possible art program and school there is, keeps track on all the projects and would give the best advice. After only few lessons Leon knew exactly who my daughter is, what is her level, her strength and what she needs extra help with. My daughter definitely became a stronger artist, she enjoys now the classes (didn’t have such a great experience with her previous art teacher) and said that Leon is very funny, so considering she is 13 there is no better compliment lol. Once we had a lesson with Illan, which she said she loved and she also takes privates with Alina, who is very sweet, accommodating and my daughter loves working with her! I am looking forward to see all the improvements

I have attended the Lebeor art school since middle school. This is a great place for a child to explore their ideas and develop their skills. The classes have variety in media and concept. One week you are working on an acrylic painting of a Dutch landscape and the next you are drawing an animal out of fruits and vegetables, or even sculpting a figurine out of clay. These classes helped me build confidence in my own abilities and develop a sense of security when navigating the art world whether I’m in an art school, a museum, or contemporary art gallery.

This is a wonderful place for children who love to paint. My daughter has been in this center for 3 years. Teachers have sufficient experience in working with children both in person and online. Thanks to the professional work of the teachers, my daughter's work has participated in many exhibitions. She continues to amaze me with wonderful works.
