School Break Single and Multi-Day Workshops
Please contact us at info@actonart.com if you have any questions.
Art School Workshops
Instead of being themed like the rest of our workshops, we hand pick a variety of different projects that have the highest appeal and give children the most opportunities to create their own art, the way they want it.
All kind of amazing animals, objects, vehicles and people may be the result of a fun day at the studio. Plus we always provide guidance and assistance to anyone who needs a little bit of extra support. Participants can expect to work with a wide variety of materials including pens, colored pencils, markers, pastels, watercolor paints, colored papers, and more!

Winter Workshops - December 29-January 2
Dragon Discovery
Ages 7 and up
1-4pm
Tuition $480
When kids are attracted to mythology and dragons, they’re often times REALLY into it! And we can completely relate! Dragons are fascinating both in their physical appearance and in the history of their origins. We’ll cover a bit of history (because it’s usually pretty fun) and make a lot of artwork. We’ll use a variety of materials to create Water, Fire, and Air Dragons. Register for this one early because it’s likely to fill up!
Cool Science
Ages 7-18
5-8pm
Tuition $290
The ActonArt Cool Science Workshop will guide students through the completion specifications and rubric.

Mythical Creatures & Creations

When kids are attracted to mythology, they’re often times REALLY into it! And we can completely relate! Mythological creatures are fascinating both in their physical appearance and in the history of their origins. We’ll cover a bit of history (because it’s usually pretty fun) and make a couple pieces of artwork. We’ll use a variety of materials to create Dragons, Unicorns, Ogres, and more. And don't forget Magic Wands, Staffs and Fairy Homes, too. Register for this one early because it’s likely to fill up!
Portrait Painting

Few things will help develop painting skills more than portraiture. This workshop will introduce students to a series of projects intended to guide them through the process of creating a portrait painting that demonstrates dimension, light, and color. Students should have an intermediate level of drawing skill (at minimum) and some prior painting experience is recommended. This workshop will include all needed supplies and features watercolor, acrylic and water-soluble oil paints and mediums.
