Introduction to Art Discovery
This month is a low-complexity (15-20 minute) opportunity for Leads and General Volunteers to connect with their classrooms. Leads will visit in the latter half of the month to introduce themselves, talk about the upcoming Art Discovery year, and provide each student with a small sketchbook (for them to take home). If a Lead is not available, the Art Discovery Chair can accommodate and speak with the class.
