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 Board of Trustees, National Gallery of Art, Washington
