Kids will learn how to draw a simplified face using thick lines, add expressive details, and fill the background with repeating patterns and color.We’ll explore what folk art is and how artists use personal style rather than realism to tell a story. Children can choose to create a self portrait or a portrait of someone they admire, such as a family member, friend, or community hero. The focus is on creativity, confidence, and enjoying the process rather than getting everything “perfect.”Using kid friendly materials, students will outline their portraits with bold black lines and then add color using a mix of oil pastels, watercolor, and other drawing tools. We’ll demonstrate simple techniques like pattern making, color layering, and wax resist to help artwork feel finished and expressive.Each child will leave with a colorful folk art portrait they can proudly take home. This workshop is welcoming, supportive, and designed to work well for a range of ages and skill levels.This is a paid workshop and all supplies are included with the ticket. Seating is limited to keep the experience relaxed and engaging.Ages 7+. Parents may join. Seats must be purchased in advance, and a ticket is required for each participant to cover materials. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/8760bac0-d81d-11f0-a4f1-ab89ef198835-rimg-w1200-h737-dc2c6076-gmir.jpg AgendaWelcome and introductionInfo: Overview of folk art, examples, and choosing a portrait idea.Sketching the portraitInfo: Kids lightly sketch a simplified face and features, focusing on shape rather than detail.Bold outlines and detailsInfo: Tracing portraits with thick black lines and adding hair, clothing, and expressive features.Color and patternInfo: Adding color using oil pastels and watercolor, exploring pattern and background design.Wrap up and clean upInfo: Finishing touches, optional sharing, and packing up artwork. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/kids-workshop-folk-art-portraits/100001977728811113 - **Event Categories**: art, kids, workshops, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 33.85, max: 33.85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: ME - **country**: United States - **location**: 417 Congress St - **lat**: 43.6586615 - **long**: -70.2579088 - **full address**: 417 Congress St, 417 Congress Street, Portland, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Kids Workshop: Folk Art Portraits - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/7498693fad8add59745159497fcce3f3ac2dec5ef28b4712758ef8a1d33a216d-rimg-w1200-h925-dc2b3233-gmir.jpg?v=1765628257 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Kids Workshop: Folk Art Portraits being held? - **A:** Kids Workshop: Folk Art Portraits takes place on Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 10:00 am to Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 11:30 am at 417 Congress St, 417 Congress Street, Portland, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Kids Workshop: Folk Art Portraits? - **A:** Tickets for Kids Workshop: Folk Art Portraits are priced at USD 34 per person.
