Linda Celestian started teaching when her daughters attended a Montessori School from preschool through 6th grade. She designed curriculum based art projects for the classroom. She worked as an artist in residence once in the classroom and once with the teachers funded by grants through the Delaware Division of the Arts. Her lessons often involved observational drawing, a skill she felt aided learning on many levels. She brings her passion for art education to the Saturday Art classes in Arden teaching all ages the basics of drawing and painting.
