EDUCATION AT MUAM<\/strong>
\nCYNTHIA COLLINS, CURATOR OF EDUCATION<\/span><\/p>\n

The Miami University Art Museum Docent Program organized in 1980, continues to undergird the museum\u2019s educational programs for school and community groups. Docents\u2014all volunteers\u2014lead interactive tours, conduct lectures and offer a wide range of activities that connect art to our daily lives.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9665Docents conduct hands-on activities for students in grades 2-5 through the museum\u2019s Adventures in Art Program. This art-based program reinforces classroom learning and fulfills current state educational standards. This year the Art Museum will offer school groups the opportunity to schedule a two-hour visit, including a one-hour tour of the current exhibitions and an Adventures in Art Program related to painting, printmaking, ceramics or textiles.<\/p>\n

To continue to fulfill the educational mission of the museum, docents and staff will train a new group of volunteers during the fall. With that in mind, we are seeking to identify volunteers who have a genuine interest in art of all kinds and enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds. Volunteers will learn to lead tours in the gallery, learn about the museum\u2019s permanent collection, study visual\/material culture and contemporary art. No experience or previous training is required.<\/p>\n
