Homeschooling is a journey filled with curiosity, creativity, and connection.
Whether you’re looking for structured learning, easy no-prep art lessons, or creative ways to enhance your child’s homeschool education,
le me make it simpler, more engaging, and confidence-building for both you and your child.

CREATIVE CONNECTIONS.
WHERE ART MEETS HEART IN YOUR HOMESCHOOL DAY.

Hey there, mama! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a homeschooling mom just like you—I’ve graduated 4 of my 6 kids, and I know firsthand the highs, the doubts, and the “am I doing this right?” moments.
I also know the joy of seeing kids light up with confidence when they create something they’re proud of.

This is where I pour my heart into every lesson, every tip, and every bit of encouragement—because I know what it’s like to want the best for your kids while wondering if you’re doing enough. I hope this becomes your go-to space for homeschool art that builds confidence, sparks creativity, and nurtures self-expression.

If you have a perfectionist child afraid to make mistakes, a little artist who needs guidance, or if you simply want to bring more hands-on joy into your homeschool,

you’re in the right place. Here, you’ll find engaging art projects, practical teaching tips, and gentle reminders that you are enough. Homeschooling isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection, growth, and making learning meaningful. Let’s make art a stress-free, confidence-boosting part of your journey.

SUCH A SUCCESS!


My 5-year-old son, Joey, who used to dislike art, is now eagerly participating in art classes during summer break.

True Hues Art's unique approach of combining creativity with curiosity in science, history, literature, and culture has made art fun and engaging for my children. I honestly can say that art is a success in our home!


Debra

MOM OF 4

ART IS NOW A TIME OF BONDING AND GROWING.

I use to dread art time, uncertain of what I was supposed to do. I put the baby down for a nap, and the older kids and I sit down for 40 minutes to create, talk and laugh together. Now art is a wonderful time of bonding and growing!

Thank you!!


Heather

HOMESCHOOL MOM OF 5

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN ABOUT PLANTS!

I use to think plants are boring! Now I am excited to do each lesson and hear something fascinating about plants, culture, and folk tales. I like the art lessons. They help me practice drawing and painting something different and new each time.
