National Gallery of Art school docent Ilze King discusses with students
Giovanni Bellini's and Titian's intriguing masterpiece, The Feast of
the Gods (1514/1529). King says, "To be a docent at the National
Gallery of Art presents a very rewarding opportunity to expose our youngest
visitors, the school children, to the Collections of the Gallery. As
a bonus, the Gallery staff provides its docents many educational
and enrichment opportunities as a part of their training." © 2008

National Gallery of Art school docent Joyce Schwartz is shown reading
a book to students in the East Building. Schwartz says, "I love helping
to make the Gallery's collection come alive for kids of all ages, from
preschoolers on an Art Tales tour to high school students studying the
Renaissance. It's very satisfying to hear a student say at the end of a
tour, ‘I thought this would be boring, but I really had a good time.'" © 2008
