Volunteer Spotlight: Celebrating Our Amazing Art Docents!
2/13/2025 8:13 am
Peter Kirk has an incredible team of parent volunteers who bring art to life for our students. They're our Art Docents, and we couldn't do it without them!
These dedicated individuals plan and teach engaging art lessons throughout the year, covering topics like line, shape, color, and texture. They introduce students to famous artists and art history, helping them develop techniques and learn new terminology. They even lead clay-glazing projects!
With 26 classes and 1-4 docents per class, this dynamic group shares the joy of teaching, collaborating on presentations, and inspiring each other with creative ideas. Some even shadow in other classes to learn new approaches!
As you can see from this collage, our students create amazing artwork under the guidance of our Art Docents! Our classrooms are well on their way to completing their fourth art lesson of the year, with many already diving into their next creative endeavor! Thanks to our Art Docents, every Peter Kirk student gets to experience the magic of art. We appreciate their hard work and dedication to making our school a more creative and vibrant place!
