This week I had my first endeavor as an art docent. It sounds very hoity-toity. Marianne said I should put it on my resume. (Not that I have a resume...but if I did.)
In the school where Emma attends, they have a parent run art program. The lessons are all provided and the parents go to the classroom and teach about art. And they are called art docents.
I loved every minute of it. Teaching is exhilarating for me. There is nothing like the look on a child's face when they suddenly take an interest in what you're saying or make a connection between new and already stored knowledge. It made me happy.
Not that I'm in a hurry for my kids to grow up (I've considered inventing an anti-grow-up pill...in my spare time), but when they do (if I don't get the anti-grow-up pill perfected in time), you'll know where to find me.
I'll be in a classroom.
