Art!

Enjoy art projects? Love being crafty? Want to keep art alive in education?!

Come share your passion for art with our Birney all-star students!

An Art Docent is a volunteer who leads hands-on art lessons designed to encourage creative thinking while introducing art history and famous artists. The focus of this program is on visual art - drawing, painting, sculpture and mixed media. Each lesson should result in a finished project, a piece of art. It is our goal to reinforce the key art concepts - such as color, texture, line, composition etc. The docent doesn’t need an art background, only an enjoyment of art. Project supplies provided at request of docent. Days and times negotiable. Opportunity to work with one grade level or several.
