Art Docent Program at Edgerton

Are you a lover of the Arts?

Have you wondered how we can preserve an arts-in-school program during this era of state standards?

Do you want to get involved more at Edgerton?

Well, have we got a program for you!

It is our hope that Edgerton has a healthy and sustainable Art Docent Program. Our vision is to have a large pool of trained volunteers to help with art lessons in our classrooms. We will be modeling our work after that of Brouillet and Wildwood. We want to make connections to real artists and their artwork (and various art movements), so the students are not only working on their creativity, but also learning skills and history along the way. We will need to create lessons, put together bins of materials, and have sample work to help guide our students. Volunteers would work directly in the classrooms positively impacting our students with these efforts. A culminating event would be an art-celebration of sorts with both visual and performing arts being shown off by our students to the public. If we have enough interest, we could put aside money to help kick-off these efforts and know that we do have a kiln on campus as well.

If interested, look for more information coming on this topic. I thank you in advance for your consideration!
