Let's Look at Art Docents

  • An adult instructor stands in front of colorful paper signs and decorations. She faces a classroom full of young children, presumably students. The children sit on the ground. Some raise their hands eagerly. The instructor holds a large poster board.

    Created soon after the founding of the Museum in 1969, Let's Look at Art is an award-winning SJMA program that sends docents into Bay Area classrooms. Designed to teach children the joy of art while developing their observation, interpretation, and communication skills, this interactive program has reached 1 million students since its inception. For 50 percent of these young people, Let's Look at Art was their first exposure to the visual arts.

    No art experience is required, and docents enjoy opportunities for personal enrichment through informative lectures and day trips to other museums.
