MISSION STATEMENT
Adventures in Art Torrance is a volunteer implemented fine arts program annually providing five elementary and five middle school projects to participating schools. Adventures in Art projects are specially selected to give students the opportunity and methodology to create their own unique art solutions while using fine art materials. Adventures in Art's philosophy is grounded in the belief that a child's art experience should focus on the process rather than the finished product. Adventures in Art is dedicated to expanding the creative spirit in children in a nonjudgmental environment. The goal of the Adventures in Art program is to build a solid foundation of artistic exploration and fun that will interest, inspire, and motivate children to confidently and skillfully create works of art beyond our program's annual projects.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Each year, Adventures in Art (AIA) provides training to volunteer docents from participating Torrance schools. Five grade-level appropriate projects, written by local artists and art educators, are selected by AIA to give students hands-on opportunities to learn fine-arts methods while working with quality art materials. Participating schools send their school's volunteers to attend AIA’s Docent Orientation and five grade-level art Workshops to learn projects directly from the artists and educators. Docents then return to their schools to lead students through these projects in their own classrooms. AIA schools celebrate students’ art work and continuing artistic development by creating annual student art exhibits on their campuses featuring current year projects.
