Explore the world of art
The Los Altos Art Docents believe that art education is an essential component of learning. Our mission is to help children explore art through appreciation and participation. Through engaging lessons and hands-on experiences, we aim to inspire creativity, foster cultural understanding, and develop critical thinking skills in students.
Our approach to art education
We provide art lessons that combine appreciation and hands-on activities designed to build on each other from year to year.
Docents are trained on all the mediums we teach for TK-6th grades. The training sessions include tips and tricks for all the techniques we offer, teaching strategies and skills, classroom management as well as how to lead effective discussions and to help students problem solve.
