One of the fine arts classes taught at HOME of Fine ARTS is of course, Art. Mrs. Ellen Brewer teaches the middle school and up art classes.
At HOME of FINE Arts, we are blessed with many wonderful and talented teachers. We are so happy to have Mrs. Ellen Brewer as one of them. She has been apart of the HOME program for several years having had several children participate in the program. Now, she teaches art, while her youngest is a student in the program.
Let's meet Mrs. Ellen Brewer.
Your position or classes taught at HOME of fine arts:
Your education and or job experience related to your HOME position?
I have an BA in Early Childhood Education. I taught at Mt. Zion Christian Academy in Morrow for 3 years prior to the birth of my first child. Fortunately, my education was an asset to the years of homeschooling 5 children! I have always been interested in art and would really like to return to school for a formal art degree. God has been good to put the people and information in my path that have allowed me to grow enough to share with the students.
Your vocation outside of HOME?
Motto?
My words to live by are Coram Deo--before the face of God. I try to remember that all of this life is lived in His presence, and encourage others in that way as well.
Your family? Spouse? Kids? Pets?
Something people would not naturally know about you?
Something people may not know about me is that I was once painfully shy. I was mortified if I even sneezed because people looked at you. When I was a mid-teen I heard that statement, 'Laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone'. I began to try it and it worked! I found that if I smiled at people, they smiled back! It was a door into a whole new world of confidence. God did a mighty work in this child, as those who know me can attest!
Thanks, Ellen, for giving us a peek into your life, and for sharing your life and love of art with the kids at the HOME of fine arts program.
