Digital Art Teacher - Part-Time

Digital Art Teacher (Grades 3–12)
$25–$35 per hour

Inspire the Next Generation of Digital Creators.

At One River School, we believe digital art is one of the most powerful creative languages of our time. We’re looking for innovative, tech-savvy artists and educators to guide students in grades 3–12 through the evolving world of digital creation—from foundational skills to portfolio-level work.

If you’re passionate about contemporary digital tools, love mentoring young creatives, and believe technology should expand imagination—not limit it—we’d love to meet you.  We have weekday hours teaching our Summer Camp curriculum and weekend hours (Sunday availability is a huge plus).  

What You’ll Do

Teach engaging weekly digital art classes for students in grades 3–12
Guide students in tools such as Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate), Blender, Moho, digital drawing tablets, graphic design, digital illustration, animation, or related platforms
Support middle and high school students in developing portfolio-quality work
Introduce creative problem-solving, visual storytelling, and design thinking
Foster a studio culture that encourages experimentation, critique, and growth
Communicate thoughtfully with families about student progress and creative development

This isn’t just screen time—it’s creative time with purpose.
