What is the Art Docent Program?
To support arts education at LFP, the PTA sponsors the volunteer-run Art Docent program. Volunteers from the school teach art lessons about a particular artist and/or elements of art, and guide the students in creating a work of art in that style. Volunteers are not required to have had experience as an art teacher. Training and lesson plans are provided.
What's Happening with the Art Docent Program?
The art docents will begin teaching lessons in October. The curriculum this year will have a multicultural theme. Students will be doing art projects inspired by the traditional folk arts of several different cultures.
We are currently recruiting volunteers for this year's program. Our first training meeting, where you can learn more about the program and our first art lesson, is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 5th, from 7-8:30 in the school library. There are lots of ways to help - teach or assist with art lessons, mount and hang artwork, take pictures of artwork for display on the Artsonia website, help set up for the annual art show, and more. No experience necessary to teach art - training and art lesson plans are provided. If you'd like to be involved with the Art Docent program, please get in touch with:
