Our Philosophy

At Whimsy Art Club, we believe creativity isn’t about talent or perfection — it’s about curiosity, confidence, and giving yourself permission to explore.

Our Approach

    Process Over Perfection

    We believe the joy of art comes from the doing—splashing color, mixing ideas, and exploring possibilities. At Whimsy Art Club, the process is where the magic lives, and the final masterpiece is just a bonus.

    Creative Confidence

    Every child has a unique way of seeing the world. Our role is to nurture that voice, giving them tools and encouragement to trust their own ideas and share them proudly.

    An Intimate, Welcoming Space

    Our Classes are designed so each child can be heard, so our class sizes are small for intimate setting.

    Connecting Through Creativity

    Art connects us to stories, cultures, and each other. We design projects that weave inspiration from various subjects, making each classes extra educational.

Why Whimsy Art Club?

Whimsy Art Club was created to be a space where creativity feels playful, poetic, and pressure-free. A place where children — and adults — can explore ideas without fear of doing it “wrong.”

We believe creativity is not something you either have or don’t have. It’s something that grows when you feel safe enough to try.

A Different Approach to Art Education

Every studio has its own philosophy. Here’s how Whimsy Art Club approaches creativity.

Traditional Studio Model

  • Often emphasizes the final result

  • Uses step-by-step instruction

  • Technique-centered learning

  • More structured formats

Whimsy Art Club Value

  • Values process over perfection

  • Encourages original ideas and experimentation

  • Builds creative thinking and self-trust

  • Small-group, child-led exploration

Both approaches have value — Whimsy Art Club is designed for families seeking a more open-ended, reflective creative experience.

Yujin Oh, Founder

Yujin founded Whimsy Art Club after years of working in design and creative fields, with a belief that creativity should feel accessible, meaningful, and human — especially for children.

Her approach blends storytelling, thoughtful design, and hands-on exploration to create experiences where creativity becomes a source of confidence, not pressure.
