DOCENT CLASS
Just what is a docent and what
do they do? A docent is a trained volunteer educator who guides
children or adults through a museum. The Latin word, "docere"
from which docent is derived, means "to teach".
DOCENT TRAINING
The MacNider Museum has a lively
and informed group of docents who enhance our mission of engaging
diverse audiences in the enjoyment and understanding of the visual
arts. We would like to invite YOU to consider joining them. A
new docent training class will begin in September and meet weekly
through early December. The class will explore ways to look at
a work of art, the principles of art and elements of design,
an overview of American art history and touring techniques.
Please call 641-421-3666
or e-mail Linda Willeke
to let us know you are interested. The class will meet
at a time convenient for all.
The MacNider Museum is always happy to welcome new members to
the dedicated group of docents who currently give tours to school
and community groups. Docenting is a great way to stimulate your
mind, meet new people, give to the community, and just have a
good time. Our current corps of docents are a lively and interesting
group of men and women who do just that! An art background is
not required, only a desire to learn about our collection of
American art and an interest in sharing your knowledge with the
public.
Call the Coordinator
of Education, at 641-421-3666 for more information or e-mail Linda Willeke.
