Young at Art Program (TK-8)

The Young at Art (YAA) program includes 13 public and private participating schools with approximately 300 docents. Lessons are submitted by artists and selected by the YAA design committee to ensure they meet all YAA requirements.

Young at Art brings Hermosa View, Vista, and Valley (TK-8 Grade) students six new art lessons per school year. Each class has 1-2 parent docents assigned to head the lessons and welcome additional parent volunteers to help on lesson days. Docents attend YAA workshops to learn the history, inspiration, and techniques used to create the artwork. They then bring the lesson to life for their classroom.

YAA docents also help our students create special class projects featured in the HBEF’s Hearts of Hermosa Silent Auction. If you're interested in getting involved this year, please fill out this form.

You can learn more by reviewing the Back-to-School Night Handout and visiting the YAA website.
