Mandel JDS Students
Act as Muesum Docents
at Cleveland Museum of Art
The Cleveland Museum of
Art recently had an additional
13 docents. On April 17, the
eighth-grade class of Mandel
JDS was tasked with presenting
the work of a master painter to
an audience filled with parents,
siblings, and community
members.
The presentation is the
culmination of a year-long art
history study in which each
student learns about the life
of their selected painter, and
ultimately emulates the style
of their painting through a
work of their own. Finally, the
students pack up their paint-
ings and head to the museum,
where they give a five-to-ten-
minute presentation about the
life of that painter, directly in
front of their work.
Artists spanned from Renais-
sance to contemporary, from
Henri Matisse to Rene Magritte,
Sandro Boticelli, Vincent Van
Gogh, and Claude Monet. Five
students studied living artists,
one of whom, Jake Moses of
Solon, communicated back and
forth with his artist, Carol Schiff,
of Florida.
"This is something we have
been doing for 23 years," said
Barbara Weiss, veteran Mandel
JDS art teacher. "One thing we
always notice is that, as we go
through the museum, acting
as docents, we pick up random
museum visitors along the way
who are drawn to our students
as sources of intriguing, factual
information. What a special op-
portunity for the students to
get to share their knowledge."
