Fourth and Fifth Grade Field Trip Docent
ORGANIZATION: Marin Museum of Contemporary Art
Please visit the new page to apply.
Field Trip Docents are responsible for leading a small group of students in either the 4 th or 5 th grade (ages 10-11) through a set of activities at the museum. There are four rotations as follows:
- Leading them through the current exhibit, asking them questions about what they are observing in the art: 20 minutes. No previous art experience is required. We will give you a script of the kinds of questions to ask.
- Taking them to visit 2-3 artist studios on the campus where the professional artist will prepare a short program for the students: 10-15 minutes each studio.
- Optional outdoor tour of sculpture, weather permitting: 10 minutes
- Studio art class where students complete an art project under the supervision of our professional art teachers. You can help answer student questions, distribute supplies and/or keep order. (no previous art experience required).
We are looking for volunteers who enjoy working with students and would like to learn more about art or who can leverage their previous teaching experience and art knowledge. Field trip docents and their student group will be accompanied by parent chaperones arranged by the school. Field trip docents are always in the company of a second adult or teacher who can help supervise the students.
If you are interested, contact Schools Program Manager Mary Coman at info@marinmoca.org or call 415-506-0137.
