Five Yelpers give the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art an average of 4.5 stars. More than 2,900 Facebookers like the school. > * I had a great time. Professional instructors, models and staff that are helpful. I have taken classes at other school and studios around L.A. and nothing compares. – Tammi R., Yelp, 9/12/10 > * The teachers are knowledgeable and couldn’t be happier to share their “trade secrets” that so many other art instructors are too intimidated or incompetent to do. – Alyson S., Yelp, 3/14/08
