Reviews of Masters Art Academy (Painter)

Iryna Pyasta

I’ve taken classes with Masters Art Academy under Svetlana Kanyo, I am grateful to have an international recognized artist sharing the secrets of professional art - oil painting. She’s inspired me to paint using the Old Masters style through fine lines as the highest form of visually recording the human experience.The environment is very friendly and I would recommend this school to everyone with passion for painting realism.

I have been taking classes for over 5 years now and must say that it has been a pleasant experience to get to know Svetlana as a teacher and as a person. Taking these art classes has allowed me to build on a personal and professional level, Svetlana has allowed her students to gain confidence and appreciation in their art and always taught us new skills every single class. These classes also has opened many opportunities to publicize my artwork, Svetlana often sent the students artwork to many local, national and international contests. With the developed skills at hand, I have achieved high merit on every seasonal contest and once won a contest. I must say these classes are very beneficial and am proud to be a part of Alberta Arts Academy!!

Svetlana is a fabulous artist and teacher. She truly has passion and dedication to her work! My daughter has been her student for 5 years and has grown tremendously under her guidance.

I have found myself truly blessed to have found this community and their instructor Mrs. Kanyo. She is not only a gifted artist but a true teacher! She is able and wants to share her skills with anyone who wants to learn. Every level of artist whether they be budding or veteran can benefit from her passion to spread the benefits and appreciation of the arts. I believe that even if one day I could paint without guidance I will continue to take classes with the Masters Art Academy. The people here are Amazing! Supportive! Helpful! and Sharing! Mrs. Kanyo is an Inspired Leader! This from someone who now thinks she can paint! Rachel Blanchette

Excellent art school. My daughter has been taking the art classes with Svetlana Kanyo at this art school for a number of years and we are very happy with the results. I would very much recommend this art school to people who are interested in introducing and teaching their kids various art techniques.

My daughter attending this academy for two years now and Im so grateful for knowledge she received from excellent teachers Svetlana and Robin. This is the place where you will be taught how to paint and draw! The atmosphere is very warm and friendly.

By far the best class for painting that I have taken. If you want to really learn how to paint, this class is for you.

Best place in the world. Students might harass you though. Don't bring gummy bears, that brings the junior high kids out of the hibernation. Also, Hannah's sister did some art there once. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FRANCO.

Thanks \Mrs. Kanyo for providing such an enriching art environment for our son! He has made great strides under your tutelage and has learned so much since joining your studio's art classes. We look forward to his growth and to the success of Alberta Arts Academy in furthering all of your students' art inspirations and fine arts potential. HIGHLY recommended for the traditional European art methods taught and the professionalism and opportunities for growth provided to students of all ages and levels.

I highly recommend taking painting classes from Svetlana Kanyo! I’ve been taking classes from Svetlana for about 4 years, and I’m amazed that she continues to teach me new techniques. She is always looking for interesting ways to challenge her students and keep classes fun and interesting. In addition to teaching, she continually looks for opportunities for students to show their work , which helps to build their confidence. Because of her support and encouragement, I’m now painting commissions, and I’ve participated in some art shows. If you’ve ever thought about giving your children art classes, or taking them yourself, I know you would be happy with the quality of instruction at Alberta Arts Academy.
