Headed by School Arts Coordinator Erin Renee, Inyo Council for the Arts has been providing Inyo County schools with virtual art docents lessons! Although things look slightly different this school year, we are excited to continue educating students about art through this museum-like experience. The Inyo County Art Docent Program provides a sequential, interactive K-5th grade education in art history and artistic skills, allowing teachers and docents to address a significant part of the California Arts Standards.
