December Brings Holiday Happenings!

Art Docents are….

“Full S.T.E.A.M. Ahead”

We participated in the annual

The 61st Annual Los Gatos Children’s Christmas/Holidays Parade

our theme was related to our focus this year on ARTs in the S.T.E.A.M. curriculum.

The Art Docents of Los Gatos is a non profit, all-volunteer organization

that provides visual art curriculum

to more than 3,000 students in the Los Gatos School District.

If your child is a student here, chances are good that they have met these volunteers!

Our students learn the elements of art

through sequential lessons and hands-on STEAM workshops,

including foil sculpture, collage, printmaking, digital photography and scientific illustration.

Art Docents dedicate their time to Los Gatos kids with all their heart, because they truly believe that

art makes us smart!

Secondly it’s that time of year that we enjoy our annual Holiday Party.

We will be honoring both new docents and those who have their 5, 15, and 20 year anniversaries.

….it’s such a nice chance to say thanks to all those who volunteer and are part of our program for many years!In January our newest Docents will head out into the classrooms

to carry on with teaching Art to the students of Los Gatos Union School District.

Congratulate our “new” Art Docents, formerly our 2017 Training Class.

Many thanks to our Trainers

Traci M., Janice J. & Julie H.

Happy Holidays from my family to yours!

From my November Art Challenge….I will sign off by posting my picture inspired by Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom From Want” Genre Painting.

I’m thankful for my family and all the volunteers who make the Art Docents’ a great program!
