Hello, I'm Mrs. Kelly Blackhart 

(formerly Ms. K. Linhart), 

I am the art teacher at Harmony Ridge P-8 School, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to nurture creativity and self-expression in our students!

I grew up just outside New York City and have called six different states home. Since 2017, I’ve been proud to teach in Aurora Public Schools, and this is my third year teaching art at Harmony Ridge P-8.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Manhattan College and a Master’s degree in Education with a focus on Special Education from Lewis and Clark College.

Art is my passion, and I love encouraging students to create both at school and at home. Art is all about expressing yourself, exploring ideas, and having fun!

I’m excited to be your art teacher for the 2025-26 school year. Let’s make this year filled with creativity and amazing art!
