"If apple is the language of the future, then art must be the core." -Elliot Eisner
Welcome! My name is Miss Jeri Kelly, and I believe in art education as part of the core curriculum. It is my belief that through creative self-expression, students gain experiences that promote both cognitive and social development.
I am currently a graduate student at Illinois State University, completing my Master's degree in Art Education, and am also a certified K-12 art educator. I received my B.A. in Photography from Columbia College Chicago in 2005, and am constantly attempting to incorporate my passion for photography into lessons for my students.
I have recently become active in museum and gallery education outreach programs in local and regional communities, and I am thrilled about the opportunities for these programs to supplement the art curriculum within the public school system. I am excited about and interested in all forms of art, and am determined to provide an energetic, thoughtful, and encouraging atmosphere in any learning environment where I am teaching.

This website is intended to provide information and resources for my students and their families, and it is my hope to encourage family engagement through the arts, taking advantage of today's technology.
