Having Sarah as my instructor was amazing because she is very kind and very lovely. She explains things very, very well, so that everyone can easily understand. She is very encouraging, and kind in explaining – she helps break down things that might look difficult, encouraging me to find the largest shapes first and then break it down further. She is a great instructor, and the class definitely helped my drawing, especially to see the overall shapes in everything. I’m now seeing the shapes to things when I look around me, the circles, rectangles, cylinders, and angles of lines – and how I would start to draw them! I now see things differently, which is very exciting. And also the part where we covered digital color, I loved that part it was really fun. I was not expecting to learn so much!

My granddaughter and I just completed Sarah de Jager’s one week digital art class in the New World School of Art. We loved the class and appreciated Sarah’s positive and encouraging approach. The course material and presentation were engaging and informative even though we are at different ages and levels of experience. Sarah’s teaching style is clear and well thought out, including the exercises that allowed us to explore Procreate while achieving assigned goals. It was so much fun! Lot’s of room for creativity and we were both surprised at how wonderful digital art tools are. Sarah presented valuable information in each class covering a wide range of helpful artistic skills while introducing what digital art can do and how it works. We are looking forward to taking more classes with Sarah and highly recommend her as a teacher. We loved her and are so excited about digital art now!
