My name is Ellen Smith. I am your child's art teacher here at St. Hubert School.  I have a teaching degree in elementary education and middle school endorsement with minor in studio art from Northeastern Illinois University.  I have had experience working with children of all abilities in every facet of education, and most recently have completed several long term art positions and taught many art enrichment classes through a local gifted program.  I sincerely believe that art gives the ability for each child to express themselves in their own creative way, and that each child should be given the chance to explore projects in a supportive and loving environment.
