Art Vistas is a volunteer led art curriculum that creates opportunities for art appreciation and art history for all classes at Hacienda. Each class receives 6 presentations over the course of the school year. The volunteers who teach the lessons, called docents, can teach all 6 lessons to their students' classroom, or you can also sign up to be a co-docent and share the fun!

All docents will be provided with materials and lesson plans. It is also helpful to have 2-3 helpers for each lesson. In addition, we are creating a Bin Prep team this year to make sure our bins are ready to go for all Docents! All volunteers must be cleared through the district.

Each grade level shares a bin with supplies prepared for all students ahead of time. These supplies will allow the docents to help teach techniques from the art lesson with an age-appropriate hands-on art project. This is where the helpers come in handy!

Training and practice time will be provided before each of the 6 lessons during school hours and the Art Vistas team is always available for any support and questions to help the lessons flow smoothly.

We are excited to celebrate all you have accomplished during the Art Exhibit at the end of the year during Open House! This is a celebration of our students in May, which transforms the cafeteria into an art gallery while displaying one piece of art from every student at Hacienda.
