“Thanks for a great art workshop this morning. The children really enjoyed their experience and are so excited to give their dad’s this gift for Father’s Day. It was really well done and the steps were very age appropriate.”

Art in Action was an engaging, educational and unique art experience for Class 61. Sara enthusiastically demonstrated her expertise, patience and passion for critical world issues. We learned about two Canadian artists and their efforts to protect endangered species. The end products spoke for themselves; every student felt a sense of accomplishment and happiness in their masterpiece. We look forward to working with Art in Action again in the near future!

Recently my grade 7 students had an opportunity to work with an Art in Action instructor to create waterfall paintings celebrating Pride. Our classroom became an art studio with all the needed supplies at our fingertips. Our instructor was an expert who taught the students new techniques and painting methods that allowed all students to create their masterpieces. Every student was successful and felt proud of their work. I would highly recommend this program and hope that we have the opportunity to host these instructors in our classrooms again.

Lily loves the mixed media art instruction because she can apply the techniques she learns to her own masterpieces. Lily really loves the techniques she learns. The salt, the wiping, the scraping, the oil and olive oil combos are very creative.

“Art in Action is an amazing program. Each week, we notice how much their confidence grows and how much improvement there is in taking directions. I love that the girls have the option to follow the pre-recorded video because they enjoy doing it together and I love listening to them give each other compliment as they progress.”
“Here is my creation from the class inspired by Mary Pratt.“
– Danielle, Adult Class participant
“Art in Action has played a key role in our daughter’s artistic development in the last couple of years. She is always excited about the personalized card that comes in the paint and instructions package. We decided to dedicate this wall area for Lilian’s paintings – it always brings joy every time we look at them. Thank you, Art in Action, for your dedication, enthusiasm and passion for art. What a fantastic way to develop children and keep their artistic curiosity alive.”
– Gabor, parent in Toronto
“It was nice to see them work side by side. Nine and six years old sisters, giving one another advice and celebrating their artistic choices.”

“Thanks for the paint kit! It turned out fantastic!!“
– Beth from Toronto
“I have attached 3 pics that my daugher has completed thus far – she has absolutely loved taking this class and it’s nice to see her finally excited to do something each week. She especially likes the videos so she can take her time on the weekend with the paintings. For a child that suffers from anxiety it has really helped her this past month – giving her something else to focus on and look forward to – so thank you so much again for the opportunity – she would take this class every week if she could! I will send the final pic when she’s done. Thanks again!”
– Jen from Toronto

“I want to thank you for the wonderful art program you run. My son Max was not the most enthused about taking an art class when he started. But he has really enjoyed this session. And he wants to do more. I could not have asked for more. Thank-you for helping Max find the artist in him and giving him the confidence to want to do more.”
– Danielle, from Toronto
“They loved it! They look forward to next week. Thank you for offering these classes online.“
– Pauline from Toronto
“Just a word of gratitude…..My son wanted to get all of his art out from last year so he could choose a new feature for his frame. I was struck by how much beauty could come from such an uncertain time during lockdown a year ago. Thank you for helping the children have a positive association during covid through sharing your love of art.”
– A Grateful Toronto Mom
“I just wanted to say that my son absolutely LOVED the class last week so, so much. He was quiet but he can’t stop talking about it, and how he wants to do art lessons every day! Thanks!”

“Tommy loved creating the Halloween art!”

“My daughter attended Art in Action classes in Toronto before we relocated to Ireland. It was by far the best art class she had experienced and was one of the things she missed. An unexpected benefit
of 2020 has been discovering Art in Action classes online. My daughter is now signing in weekly from Ireland and loving it. Can’t recommend these classes enough.”
– Niamh
“Our daughter (8yrs) has really enjoyed the art in action projects. The art lesson and inspiration from the original artists are informative and helps to ground the project aesthetic. The lessons are challenging – but the instruction is so well managed and thoughtful that it allows her to follow along and make work she is truly proud of!
Looking forward to the next sessions and seasons!”
– Nicole M.
