Junior Docent School Program - Milwaukee Art Museum

Note: The graduation is a time for the students to be the docents. Please
remind the docent guides to limit comments to recognizing the students’
efforts and refrain from offering additional information about the work of art.
After the last presentation is completed, the docent proceeds with their group to Lubar
Auditorium/Windhover Hall. In Lubar Auditorium/Windhover Hall, the Docent Liaison will
coordinate with the teacher the distribution of certificates and photography. While
waiting for the groups to gather in Lubar, have the students place their artwork along the
edge of the stage. Encourage the students to talk about their experience in the program
with their parents/guardians while waiting for other groups to return.
Once all of the students are gathered in Lubar Auditorium/Windhover Hall, the
certificates will be distributed to the students. Each student will cross the stage from the
west end to the east end of the stage. As they proceed across, they will shake your
hand (if you would like to be on stage), the Coordinator of School Programs hand, and
the teacher(s) hand. Photographs may be taken using flash photography. The students
will then depart the museum. Thank everyone for coming and encourage them to come
back again with their families.
Note: All groups will not finish at the same time, so docents should stay with
their group until all groups arrive in Lubar Auditorium. Docents should
confirm no other things are needed with the liaison before leaving.
