Home School Art Classes

A visually rich and creatively engaging curriculum

IDEA Studio is a professional "working" art studio located on Hilton Head Island. Local artist, Mark & Ginny Taylor are providing an opportunity for art education, creative discovery and self-expression through a variety of 2d & 3d art mediums.

​

Our core curriculum is known as KidzArt and is a drawing-based curriculum which has been developed and kid-tested by professional artists and educators for over 20 years and exceeds the National Visual Art Standards for art education. We use this incredible tool as a launch pad for delivering an ongoing, highly engaging and educationally rich creative experience for our students.  The curriculum is evolving, age appropriate and creatively engaging. Our dynamic classes can easily be adapted to compliment your home school curriculum.

 

In addition to our drawing base program we also offer a full clay/pottery studio consisting of electric wheels, kick wheels, slab roller, (2) kilns and glazing center. Please give us a call or send an email if you would like to schedule a visit to see the studio and discuss our home school program.

After School Programs

A fun way to explore a variety of Art mediums

Our after school KidzArt Program is an enrichment program centered around the visual arts.  Offered by IDEA Studio the program is based around six week sessions coordinating with the school year calendar.

 

All after school KidzArt sessions are offered in age appropriate classes...Kindergarten thru 3rd grades, 4th & 5th grade and middle school classes. Our curriculum is always fresh and fun...and never repeats.  Our program is educational...but, shhhhh...don't tell the kids!

 

Throughout the six week session we explore a variety of mediums and methods of creating 2d and 3 dimensional works of art.  Throughout the year our curriculum utilizes over 60 professional art mediums such as: prisma markers, water colors, pastels, acyrilics, block printing, silk painting, clay and more...

 

KidzArt enhances a child's creativity and experience with art.  All children have a desire to express themselves in many ways...artistically, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Our after school program impacts each and every one of these areas of expression.

KidzArt Clay Studio

Explore the tactile feeling of creating 3 dimensionally

In addition to our drawing base programs we offer a very creative & dynamic 3d curiculum for kids centered around our professional ceramics clay studio.

​

This is a true "get your hands dirty" program where we teach a variety of hand building techniques as well as giving the kids the opportunity to try their hand on a real potters wheel.  Kids love the tachtile qualities that clay offers and for many this provides their first experience to explore their ability to create shapes and discover how they can think three demisionally & mold functional pieces of art.

​

Our full service clay facilty features 5 electric potters wheels, 1 kick wheel, 2 slab rollers, a clay extruder, pug mil, 3 kilns and full glazing studio.
