Polson’s Art Docent Program is a volunteer-based art history program that allows students at Linderman Elementary to become immersed in art through classroom instruction. According to the program’s coordinator, Edna Lemm, art docents are the “backbone” of the program.
Docent means “someone who promotes learning.” In this program, a docent is a volunteer who is trained to present art-related information and lessons in the classroom.
“This is a fun way to volunteer in your child’s classroom, but it is not limited to parents alone,” Lemm says. “If you enjoy working with children and being creative – or know someone who does – this is a great opportunity.”
