Short volunteer shifts listed here on our website. Come help us out!

- Volunteer in your child's classroom?
- Get to know your child's teacher and classmates?
- Do something that all the kids really enjoy?
- Get a little messy and have a lot of fun?

If you answered "Yes" to any or all of the above, it means you'd make a great Art Docent!  This is a fantastic way to give quality volunteer time in your child's class.

It's a once-a-month lesson, and you coordinate with the teacher regarding the date/time--so it's a flexible and fun volunteer opportunity for both stay-at-home and working parents alike. It takes about an hour to do the class, plus some set-up and clean-up. When you see how much the kids get out of it, you will see why it's one of Rockwell's most enduring and popular programs.

You don't need to be an Art expert whatsoever--the curriculum is already set out for you.  You don't need to be a Picasso--very little, if any, artistic talent is needed.  All you really need is some time, some patience, and a good sense of humor and fun :)  

There will be an evening orientation in September - watch the Bugle for details. Art Docent lessons begin in October and run through May/June. The highlight is the annual Art Showcase in May, when the students' masterpieces will be on display for the entire school to enjoy!

Please contact your child's teacher, or me directly, if you are interested or have questions.

Looking forward to a fantastic year of Art Docents!

Art Docents Chair

Art for Kids School will be offering after school art classes at Norman Rockwell Elementary for the Fall 2015 semester. Because of the great interest in these classes, spaces in the classes will be chosen by a drawing from those who have submitted registration forms.

These are ongoing classes, open to new and returning students, and projects are not repeated. Children will have an opportunity to explore their creativity through a variety of materials including pen and ink, watercolors, acrylics, pastels, clay, and plaster. Drawing techniques are incorporated in these classes as well as painting and sculpting techniques.  Classes will be taught by a professional, degreed artist.

• Mondays from 3:10-4:10pm (ages 5-8), 4:25-5:25pm (ages 9-12) 

• Wednesdays from 1:45-2:45pm (ages 5-8), 3:00-4:00pm (ages 9-11), and 4:15-5:15pm (all ages). 

• There will be more announcements regarding after-school enrichment classes (Chess, Lego, Coding etc) in the coming weeks...keep reading the Bugle for new announcements.
