“As Art Docents, we live the sweet life because we love what we do – bringing art into the classrooms and opening kids’ eyes to new things”

Los Altos Art Docents President- Kathy Bonte

The Los Altos Art Docent program is designed to provide a comprehensive visual arts education to the students of the Los Altos Elementary School District. The goal is to create a sense of excitement about art and the freedom to be creative.

Visual arts stimulate the imagination, enhance observation skills and self-expression, encourage creative problem-solving and underscore the innate relationships between history, culture, science, math and the humanities.

We provide a combination of art appreciation and hands on lessons designed to build on each other from year to year.  The art elements are woven throughout the curriculum, so that by the end of sixth grade students have gained an appreciation for fine art, learned a basic art vocabulary, as well as, having participated in the process of creating their own individual works of art.
