They have all committed to completing the Weekday Docent Training and will join a Weekday Docent Team on July I, 20 I I. The class has several retired teachers, two men, a daughter of a current docent and ten very inspired people. Many of them have already begun observing Weekday Tours and have been made to feel very welcome. All UMFA Docents and Volunteers are welcome to join the New Docents in their training sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays from I to 3 pm. Ali or Amy can provide you with the training topics for each class. Also, please join us in greeting these ten new docents.

When I was at the Minneapolis Institute of Art in May I noticed the same technique being used for both large and small groups. Having your group sit while looking can be a wonderful way of accomplishing many goals. Sitting helps children focus and it quiets their bodies. Sitting creates a safer environment as there is less likelihood of children straying or getting too close to a piece of art. Some docents sit with their groups either on the floor or on a bench or stool, others find it more comfortable to stand. While there are a few objects and situations where sitting can limit how a piece of art is experienced, think about adding this technique to your tours if you do not already do so. Please do not move benches in the galleries. (]) E jean Witmer john Witmer 0 u -J (]) ~ welcome |
