SPECIALS TEAM

My name is Mrs. Deanna Kelly and I am the artteacher at Sauganash School. I love Chicago andhave lived here all my life. I love teaching art to allstudents at Sauganash from grades K through 8.This is such a unique opportunity for me to watchthem grow up, and to see their artunderstandings develop as they go along. I havean undergrad specializa�on in K – 8 art and aMaster’s Degree in math. I really enjoy theart/math connec�on and when I teach art, I helpthe children understand, visualize and use themathema�cal underpinnings of the drawings anddesigns we create. This puts the “A” into STEM,making it STEAM!

I have a family with three grown-up children and a big Goldendoodle dognamed Woody. I do photography as a hobby, and especially love flying mydrone. I also enjoy doing colorful acrylic pain�ngs on canvas. I’m verygrateful to be at Sauganash so I can help children learn how to draw,design and express themselves through the discipline of art.
