HMA Student Docent Program

Partnering with teachers and students since 2000, the HMA Student Docent program builds critical and creative thinking skills through close examination of art and architecture. Students will analyze and interpret primary sources, identify meaningful pieces of evidence to support a claim, create visual representations of their learning and share their ideas with others. The HMA Student Docent program is best-suited for students in grade levels 5-8.

The art department is particularly involved and each year there is a student art show at the end of spring semester.
