Where is it? The East art studio at Powers & Constitution. 2834 North Powers Blvd., Colorado Springs, Colorado 80922
What is it? Homeschool families receive 10% of all art projects from 1pm-5pm during our Pop In & DIY hours every Friday. Projects start at just $10 and there is something for all ages and skill levels!
Why should I bring my students in? With our DIY set up you get to decide your price point and what you want your students to learn and create during their visit. We know that art, like all education, isn’t one size fits all! You will be able to work at your own pace alongside other wonderful homeschoolers. Bring your whole co-op or start an art club! Our studio can fit 50-60 painters.
What can our students learn in your studio? History, style, design principles, observation, techniques, color theory, discipline, a variety of art mediums, and confidence! We have lots of art books for all age levels, instructions for projects you can DIY, and coming in January - an art curriculum with lessons you can pair with specific projects. Our owner KayLee Parson was homeschooled then got a degrees in Painting, Art History, & Art Education. For nearly 10 years she taught art in the public school system AND AROUND THE WORLD. Her passion is sharing art with the community and she is working on writing an art curriculum that parents can use to add historical lessons into their time in our studio while their students create.
Is there an art instructor? We have professional artists who manage our studio that will help you find your projects, set up all your supplies, and help you get started. They are available to answer questions during your visit if you need them, but these are DIY sessions which allow students of all ages and interests to come in and work on their chosen work at their own pace and alongside other homeschool families from our community. If you choose a painting from our gallery to recreate - we will provide you with written or video instructions! Our artists will not be teaching a lesson or project to the group step by step during “Pop In Hours” or Homeschool Fridays like our traditional events - so if you are wanting a more guided experience please visit our calendar of events for a class.
