Through Lanai's art instruction, children are introduced to art masters and enjoy hands-on studio art projects. They will learn to recognize artistic elements, become better observers, and expand their vocabulary as they gain a lasting appreciation of art!

 

Like last year, FOLB has funded a paid art instructor (Ms. Caprice from Viridian Art) to be the Lead in all classrooms. Ms. Caprice will be responsible for communicating with program coordinators and teachers, set-up/clean-up, and teaching the art lesson.

 

Parent Volunteer Art Docents will assist Ms. Caprice with set-up/clean-up and aid students in the classroom with materials. Art docent volunteers will spend 1.5 hours per lesson on a bi-weekly (every other week) basis: 15 minutes prep, 1 hour lesson, 15 minutes clean-up. This is a rewarding opportunity to work in the classroom in a creative learning capacity.

 

In an effort to maintain consistency and the overall quality of the Art Docent program, a group of volunteers will be selected to regularly attend and aid in the classrooms during art lessons: TK through 1st: Art will take place weekly, and a maximum of 4-6 volunteers per class will be selected and put on a rotation schedule, so you are actually in the classroom bi-weekly. 2nd through 5th: Art will take place bi-weekly, and 2-3 volunteers per class will be selected.
