"How I became an Artist" by Noah Bradley

3/23/2019

6 Comments

 
As a school that has more than 250 art students at any given time, we frequently get asked the question "How do we get started" and what will my child learn as they grow? 

We thought we'd take a slightly different spin on this and share with you some inspiring stories of modern artists. 

Here is a truly inspiring story of Noah Bradley. It is about a 20 minute read on medium. He talks about how he got started with art as a hobby. And that passion quickly transformed into a lifelong passion for art to the point he took it up as a career. I love his watercolors, pencil sketches, his acrylics and all the other medium he uses. 

His story is here: 
https://medium.com/@noahbradley/how-i-became-an-artist-4390c6b6656c

Please know that Noah Bradley has not studied in the Almaden School. Just that we came across his inspirational story and have shared with you. 

We have the best Art program the Almaden School of Music & Art, where aspiring artists in the San Jose, Campbell, Sunnyvale, Saratoga, Evergreen, Santa Clara and Cupertino come to learn art from the best teachers in the world! Please check out their profiles on our website and signup for a trial art class with us.  You will not be disappointed.

So you were inspired by a self-confessed sexual predator who used his art to sexually assault women? Disgusting.

Testimonials

I was evaluating this school for my son's piano lessons but ended up joining myself. My son is very Young and I needed to try out some lessons before committing and the school worked with me through the process of trying out multiple teachers, who were all fantastic in their own league, but I was looking for a non traditional learning for my son.

So though we decided it's not the right time for my son to start here, I myself ended up joining one of the teachers who we tried out and liked. He is Mr. Matthew. As a teacher he had understood my goals and my expectations and is challenging me accordingly. I really like the class.

​The school's management was very involved and took lot of effort to understand my and my son's requirements and constantly followed up on the experience as a new student. This is rare to see but reflects the passion of the management towards music and towards customer service. I would recommend this highly. I also love the arts program of schools which I have walked by often and seen the amazing paintings that Young students make there.
