Classroom Art Docent Volunteers Needed...

Do you love art?  Would you like to share your love of art in your child's classroom? If you answered yes to either question, then please consider being an art imagination volunteer.  No formal training is necessary.  What counts is your enthusiasm and imagination.
Who can volunteer?
Anyone! No art background or experience is necessary. Ideas, training, and materials are provided by the PTSA.
What do art volunteers do?
Volunteers research artists and artwork, create an art discussion, and provide a follow-up art project if time allows.
How much time is involved?
About one hour, once a month in the classroom. Outside preparation time which will vary depending on your own interest in the subject.

Art Imagination’s purpose is to introduce art appreciation to children through seeing, talking, and doing art. The art imagination volunteer usually presents one or more art pieces with some background information. The children will make comments on what they see in the art pieces. When time allows, the children make a related art or craft project.

Somerset has a collection of art prints, books, and resource materials you can use to help you create an art discussion and art project. Additionally, the Somerset school library has books with art project ideas.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to attend an art docent training workshop on October 15, 2005 in Duvall, WA at the Northwest Art Center. We will meet at Somserset School and carpool to the Northwest Art Center. The workshop starts at 9:30am and ends at 12:30pm.

If you are interested in being a volunteer, please contact Cindy Lew.
