Art Literacy

Beaverton Art Literacy Logo

 

Art Literacy (nicknamed Art Lit) is a district-run, volunteer-supported art education program at nearly every BSD elementary and middle schools. Volunteers teach six art lessons a year at elementary or three lessons a year at middle school, with an emphasis on inclusivity and representation of the diverse world around us. Students learn about both artists and art styles, and then create their own art projects based on the lessons.

Art Lit is only possible with the commitment of our dedicated volunteers. We can always use more volunteers! Volunteers do not need any special knowledge or skills. The district provides the necessary training, lessons and materials. Volunteers just need to have a desire to help students expand their world through art.

Interested in volunteering? Take a look at this video.

All volunteers must complete the district's volunteer application through our volunteer management system called Raptor. The process includes an Oregon criminal records check. On the application, you can indicate the school or schools where you'd like to volunteer.
