Our Community.

Our main studio location lies in Thorndale, PA. Our community arts studio is right on Lincoln Highway in the Acme Shopping Center. Our mission is to provide quality, affordable arts access to every artist, and in a location so convenient, we hope that we are doing just that for our neighbors in Thorndale. We are so excited to meet you and change the world together through art and play!

  • Young Toddlers.

    Believe it or not, art can teach your young toddlers so much about the world! Each week for 4 weeks we will explore and add something new on our large canvases.

  • Older Toddlers.

    We are up and moving around on our own now, which means curiosity is ever present in our minds. For this age group we will add new painting tools each week!

  • Preschoolers.

    Preschoolers are naturally vibrant and expressive, which is why learning through art is so important! Each week we explore color theory and geometry to make beautiful works of art.

  • Pre-K.

    This age group is often very underestimated. In this Pre-K art class we explore art history and learn about a different famous artist each week.

  • K-12

    At this point, we are professional artists and we would like to be treated as such! After school we will meet at the studio and learn all kinds of fun art techniques.

  • Teens.

    Art isn’t just a fun hobby anymore, it’s part of our lives and we have passion. In this weekly class, we seriously study art and develop our own portfolios of work.

Quality Art Education. Affordable Rates.

 

At One For All, part of our mission is to make art as accessible as possible for every type of artist. This includes artists of every age. From exploratory toddler classes to more in depth teen classes, we have it all. We even offer Date Nights so you can have one day a week to relax for a bit, without having to worry about your little ones. With our class packages, your young artist will have an unlimited number of classes they can attend during the session. Not ready for the commitment? You can also choose to start with just an individual class. Either way, we can not wait to meet you and have you join our One For All Family.

Here are some examples of what we offer:

  • stARTing out

    Believe it or not, art can teach your young toddlers so much about the world! In this crucial stage of development we will introduce your little one to the wonderful world of art one small step at a time. Each week we will explore and add something new with different surfaces, textures and mediums that will captivate your young toddler.

    Sensational Sensory Play

    Using all of the senses is so important in the growth of artists under 5 years of age. In this open arts studio time for toddlers, your family will be able to experience an array of arts activities that will engage a variety of senses. From bubble play, pom pom printing to playing with sand or painting with scented paints, there will be something for everyone to freely play!

  • Toddler Explorations

    Usually older Toddlers are at a developmental level where they can differentiate the colors, and can start to make intentional decisions. In this class we encourage this growth by stepping up their art challenges each week in an individualized and specific way. We will explore all kinds of textures, colors, sounds and methods of creating that will captivate your Todd and keep them coming back for more!

    Magic Walls

    Looking for a fun class that the whole family can participate in? Well this is the class for you! In this class your Toddlers will be walking into a magical room, the only room where they are actually allowed and encouraged to draw on the walls! Using jumbo drawing supplies that fit perfectly in your Toddlers hands, they will learn a different kind of line and shape to draw. They will get to fill their entire wall with this kind of line and shape. Every 15 minutes we will introduce a new color and drawing material so your Toddlers will be consistently interested and excited the entire class.

  • Artsploration

    Join us as we learn all about the world around us-Preschool Style! Each week we will explore something new and create a really fun art project all about that subject. One week we might swim with sharks and create fun underwater paintings, and the following maybe we will create our own hieroglyphic languages. No matter what we explore though, one thing is certain: class will always end with a Preschool Dance Party.

  • Artists in Time

    Join us in exploring a different famous artist each week followed by a correlating art project using some of the same techniques each artist used. This class builds on History, Literacy, Science, Math, and (of course) Art skills for Pre-K students ages 3-6. Each project is individualized by the instructor specifically for the students enrolled. Siblings that are older or younger than this age range are welcomed to attend, as long as artists under the age of 3 are accompanied by an adult the whole class.

    Color Experts

    Sundays at 12:30pm starting Sept. 4th, $50 per student, Class Pass Accepted

    The world of color awaits your young artists in this fundamental class for Pre-K students ages 3.5-5. Primary, Secondary and Tertiary colors are not the only things we will learn. On the agenda is also the emotional meanings of color, the temperature of color and much more. By the end of this class, your artist will be totally prepared for whatever art project comes their way!

    Masterful Mugs

    Is your family a morning coffee family or a morning tea family? Maybe you’re both! Well, whichever it may be, allow your mornings to start off right with a mug that has personalized artwork done by your very own master artist. In this super fun class your artist will get to learn all about mugs made around the world, and what people drink out of their mugs. Then we will all have lots of fun decorating our own mugs that we will get to take home at the end of class.

  • Art Around the World

    This special class came to be from our very own One For All Kids themselves! Our community of young artists love exploring their own family roots, and seeing what art looks like from cultures all around the world. We create our own artwork with similar themes to what we learn about then share about our thoughts and art at the end of each class.

    Fun with Fibers

    Embroidery and Fiber Arts tend to be under rated and can be a moving meditation for all ages. From Kindergartners to High School students, everyone can participate and create beautiful works of art and functional pieces to enjoy in this beginner sewing class. We will start out with making our own pillows, and move on to a sewing project of our choice. Don't worry grown-ups, we have plenty of experience giving sewing needles to little ones. We promise they can handle it!

    Painting the Stars

    Explore the skies with us and learn how to create different types of skyscapes using color, depth and texture. Each week we will paint on paper using watercolor and acrylic paints. We will look at different types of skies starting with a city skyline and ending with a universe outer space painting.

    Clay Creations

    Who doesn’t love playing with clay? In this super fun clay creations class we will learn ceramics vocabulary and three different techniques in hand building clay vessels. Once our pieces are made and fully dry, we will paint them and then cover with a glossy topcoat!

  • Beginner Portfolio Development

    This class is ideal for teens who take creating very seriously, and are considering a career in the arts. The start of this class series will teach how to develop a professional, presentable body of work, what you need to include and why. Then, dive into concept creation and consistency and move into actually building and creating work to put into your very own portfolio. Finally, we will teach how to properly mount and present the work as well as how to photograph the work.

    Conceptual Color Field Painting

    It all begins with color. From the moment we open our eyes at birth color plays an influential role in our lives. In this advanced class for teenage artists, we learn all about the meanings of colors and their affect on us. Each week we will dive into the psychology of a different color, followed by a guided color meditation that will inspire a monochromatic painting on a square canvas. We will end class by displaying and sharing our conceptual grid of color field paintings with one another.

    Portrait and Figure Drawing

    Many High Schools show students how to draw a portrait to the basic extent, but do they bring in live models? We didn’t think so. Starting out, we will dive deep into proportions and the differences between masculine and feminine anatomy. We will draw standing at our easels using vine charcoal to start, and by the end of class we will be using full color soft pastels. Not quite comfortable with fully nude models for your teen? Not to worry, our models will be clothed!

  • Go ahead and make Friday’s your date night! Drop off your K-12 artists with us- we will order pizza, do an art project and play some games. All ages are welcome as we believe in the kids teaching kids motto. By the end of the night, your artists will have so many new friends and experiences that they will be eager to return!

  • Get a head start on planning your summer season by registering for this fun weekday art camp! All ages starting at 4 years old are welcome to join us this season.

Creative Arts Playcare

a space for toddlers to learn through art and play.

The first five years of a human beings life is developmentally the most important. Children within the age range learn and grow most successfully when they feel safe, loved and are given the opportunities to experience as much as possible. At One For All, we set up our early education artists with a strong foundation by mixing in thought out, individualized lesson plans within playtime and art projects. Our early artists have so much fun they don’t even realize how much they are learning and growing.

Playcare Scheduling Options

  1. Full Time Care: M-F 9am-3pm

  2. Full Time Care: M-F 7am-5pm

  3. Part Time Care: M-F 9am-noon

  4. Part Time Care: 2-3 Days Per Week
