Volunteers have come together to create a unique learning experience.<\/div>\n

Thanks to a collaborative effort of volunteers, the PTA and teachers, Boulder Oaks, Shadow Hills, Creekside, and Joan MacQueen Middle School are delighted to offer art education through our Art Docent Program!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Docent Arts Program is an extensive art program run by these dedicated volunteers, where each grade learns about a different artist and creates art based on the work of their artist. Each grade level learns about the life of a famous artist and studies his or her artistic techniques. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some of these famous artists include Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Remington, Paul Klee, Georgia O’Keefe, and Andy Warhol. <\/span><\/p>\n

Students create their artwork using a variety of mediums such as oil pastels, chalk, acrylics, and clay. <\/span><\/p>\n

The goal of this program is to expose students to art history and elements of applied art. There is a rich body of research behind art education; not only does it enhance fine motor skills, neural development and problem solving, but art education is also linked to increased academic achievement and social and emotional development. <\/span><\/p>\n

All of which are important to Alpine Union School District’s mission to inspire creativity, innovation, and excellence!<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of each school year in the spring, we celebrate students’ work by displaying it in a beautiful Art Show at our Annual Open Houses!<\/span><\/p>\n
