Art Docent Program
Chair:
When:
Throughout year
Being an Art Docent in your students classroom is a great way to share special memories with making art projects and getting to know your students classmates. This is a medium commitment role by teaching an 1 hour art lesson one day a month in your students class. All the art lessons and materials are provided for you or you may choose your own. There will be an orientation at the beginning of the year and a practice art lesson. Most art lessons begin in October to give the Art Docent and teacher time to coordinate and prepare for the year. Questions?
