Homeschool Digital Illustration

You handle the reading and math. We'll bring the tablets and the sketchbooks. Homeschool Digital Illustration is a weekly daytime class where students learn to make their own digital artwork — sketching an idea, building it up in layers, working with color and line, and finishing a piece they're proud to share.

Sessions run Thursday mornings with Hanna, who leads art and design at Newburgh Creates. Students start with the basics of the tools and build toward larger projects, including characters, scenes, and a finished portfolio piece.

The group is multi-age by design, the way homeschool groups actually work. Siblings are welcome to enroll together, and projects scale up or down so a 7-year-old and a 13-year-old can work side by side — each challenged at their own level.

What Students Learn

Learning outcomes

For Homeschool Families

How it works

Is this drop-off?
Yes — students stay with our instructors for the full two hours. Parents are welcome to stick around, especially for the first visits; we have a waiting area, and Liberty Street's coffee is a short walk away.
How is the group organized?
One multi-age group, capped at 10. Projects are designed to scale, so younger and older students work on the same challenge at different depths. Siblings can enroll together.
How do sessions and billing work?
The lab runs in sessions on the same calendar as our after-school programs — enroll per session.
Does this count toward our curriculum?
Many families count STEAM Lab hours toward art, technology, and science enrichment in their IHIP. We're happy to describe our program activities for your quarterly reports — just ask.
