A Famous Artist volunteer visits each homeroom about five times during the school year, (twice during the Fall semester and three times during the Spring semester). We focus on one artist per month. During each classroom presentation, the volunteer highlights the artist's biography and the focus work of art, and then leads and activity in the style of that artist.

Each volunteer covers one or two homerooms and gives between five and ten presentations per year. Materials for the presentations are shared, so the volunteers schedule their presentations through the Committee Chair, to avoid scheduling conflicts. We also hold about five planning meetings thoughout the year.
