The Explore with Me Docent Program is a Museum internship in which students are trained to give docent tours of the de Saisset Museum's temporary exhibitions. No previous knowledge of art is required. As part of the curriculum, students will learn the necessary skills and information to provide thoughtful and engaging tours. They will be trained in Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS), a touring style that uses questions and interactive conversation to relay information about the objects on display. The program provides a great opportunity for students to gain professional experience working in the arts, to learn to speak comfortably and confidently about art, and to improve public speaking skills. In addition to attending class sessions and completing brief assignments, each Explore with Me Docent is required to give three public tours as part of the course. Most tours occur Tuesday - Friday, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. so some availability during this time is needed. Students may enroll for up to two quarters to receive both lower and upper division credit. ARTH 93 is a pre-requisite for ARTH 193. Registration does not occur through Ecampus. Please register in the Art & Art History Department office at 852 Market Street during the registration period.
