Art Docent

Thank you for your interest in becoming an Art Docent for your child’s classroom.  

Art Docents teach monthly art lessons to their class using the curriculum provided by the Northshore School District. You do not need to have any art teaching experience, just the love and patience to create art with students. We will train and guide you through the rest!

The Northshore School District has put together a strong curriculum with lesson guides, great artists & artworks, and suggested art projects. More information about the Northshore Art Docent Program can be found here: https://www.nsd.org/get-involved/volunteer/art-docent-program
