About Our Founder

---

Professor Jianxin Zhao studied at the China Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, specializing in Gongbi Figure Painting. Her work has won national awards and she has attained considerable achievement and recognition. Her series of paintings including “Endless Thought before Marriage”, “Elegant”, and “Joyful”, are a part of the permanent collection of the National Art Museum of China and have received much critical acclaim.

Since 1982, Prof. Zhao has been engaged in Fine Arts education at the university level. During her 15 years of teaching, many of her students have gone on to become national painters, doctoral supervisors, and principals of art academies. In 1996, she immigrated to the United States to start a whole new chapter of her life-long pursuit. The “US Fine Art Education Center” would go on to become the first standard youth art learning institution in Los Angeles, U.S. 

US Arts approached art education in a completely new way. Instead of drawing randomly, these art classes introduced a systematic approach to creating art. Our curriculum plan uses the guiding principle of “educating innovative talents through art” to turn art education theory into practice.

Professor Jianxin Zhao built US Fine Art Education Center on five basic guiding concepts:

1. Art Education and Techniques Education are related;
2. The purpose of teaching students art is not about the artwork itself but the individuals in our classroom.
3. Each level of teaching method has to be scientific, objective, and realize the ultimate outcome.
4. Bring creativity to each student’s basic training
5. Emphasize the teaching standard of basic knowledge as well as the techniques.

Through consistent and systematic training, U.S. Fine Art Education Center helps students to gain extraordinary thoughts and ambition, build confidence, and become a future elite in our society. We are dedicated to enlightening students through art cultivation, innovative thinking, and to moving our students forward with confidence. 

After a long, persistent study, Professor Jianxin Zhao and her elite faculty team developed an unprecedented “CTA” (Comprehensive Training in Art) art education system. This system focuses on specialized educational concepts associated with art training. Her contribution signifies the new educational approach to youth art education. Thus, under the lead of Prof. Zhao, US  Fine Art Education Center has become a famous educational brand on an international platform.
