Quotes and Recommendations
"We moved to Chicago in July and settled down in Hyde Park in South of Chicago where
University of Chicago is located. We miss ActonArt very much. The
philosophy, the teachers (especially you!), the
environment of Acton Art are truly unique and special. I really wish
[my daughter] could continue in a similar environment. But the only
studio in Chicago is too far away from us so I have been
exploring other opportunities, but none has been satisfying yet. The
good news is that [my daughter] still enjoys drawing and making art whenever
she has spare time.
Many Thanks for your help! You are a great teacher! The kids at Acton
Art are truly blessed having you as their mentor for art.
Happy Holidays to you and your family!"
Siquan C., Former student's parent
"YOU KNOW I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH about [my son's] experience in your art classes. He has grown enormously in his confidence to express himself through his art. He has particularly enjoyed all the different mediums you have exposed them to and uses all of them in his own work now. Your classes are extremely informative and creative; all the students seem to experience success and pleasure every week. Your classes are not just an art and craft class- they are true drawing instruction classes. Your classes have opened up a whole new world of art for [my son]- he scares us sometimes with how it has taken off!!"
Terry R., Concord parent
"OUR 7 YEAR-OLD SON LOOKS FORWARD TO ACTONART CLASSES ALL WEEK. No surprise. The understanding and encouraging instructors make everyone feel successful. My son's overall confidence has been immensely improved!"
Brenda D., Concord parent
"WHEN ANYONE ASKS ME ABOUT ACTONART, I TELL THEM "IT'S AWESOME." I love the fact that it is all positive and is instructed drawing. [My daughter] wowed us all with her projects and was always proud to show us her creations. She would often take what she learned at ActonArt and do her own projects at home...A child will gain confidence in themselves at ActonArt and will show that they can shine. We love your program!"
Kelly V., Acton parent
"EVEN STARTERS CAN HAVE FUN AT ACTONART. Here any child can draw their own way and can also try out different drawing materials at each class. The teachers and students at ActonArt provide a welcome and comfortable environment for children to learn and draw confidently along with having fun."
Alex D. age 11, ActonArt student
"Just a quick note to let you know that MY SON ENJOYS VERY MUCH THE ART CLASSES AT ACTONART. His drawing skills have improved a lot since he started with ActonArt. Weekly art classes are one of few things [he] is looking forward to going to. We are so pleased with the [his] progress under your guidance that we are sending his younger sister to ActonArt!"
Ning Z., Acton parent
"MY DAUGHTER, WHO STARTED AT ACTONART THE DAY IT OPENED, has thoroughly enjoyed every minute she has spent there. She is a very shy little girl, and will often refuse to participate in group classes, but the low key tone of her ActonArt classes, along with their clear expectations and supportive teaching has been a perfect fit for her. Her understanding of shape, color, and design has progressed remarkably in a very short time period, and we have seen how easily the classes mesh with what she is learning in kindergarten about how to form letters and numbers. She has gained confidence in her own abilities and is always proud to show her amazing artwork to friends and relatives. We appreciate everything she has learned at ActonArt and recommend the program very highly!"
Miriam S., Acton parent
