Masterpiece Program 
Prescott Art Docents involve children in a discussion of selected reproductions of masterpieces each month. These talks may include techniques the artist used to communicate with the viewer, social and historical background information, and interesting facts about the artist.
Youth Speakers Bureau
Youth Speakers Bureau Docents prepare slide or digital presentations on themes related to school curriculum and grade level interest. These well-researched talks, based on the Arizona Visual Arts Standards, give children many ways to view and talk about art.
Sometimes the docent will bring appropriate objects to illustrate the art on the screen.
