Artitudes in Action: Art Docent Campaign
December 2, 2010
In 2007, in response to the growing need for art in elementary schools, Artitudes Design created its Artitudes in Action: Art Docent Campaign. It brings much needed arts education back into the classroom.
Artitudes employees volunteer their time as art docents in K-6 classrooms across the Puget Sound area. They create sample art projects, write lesson plans, purchase supplies or use recycled materials, coordinate with an elementary school and then teach the lesson to the class. If classes are focusing on a specific topic, such as the Lewis & Clark expedition, the docents will tailor their lesson plans to that subject. The Campaign has reach over 450 students and is growing each year. It is no wonder the docents are being stopped in the hall by children asking “When are you going to teach in my class?” To donate supplies or to volunteer, email info@artitudesdesign.com.
