Description
by Paul Lee (Illustrator), Jeff Hendy (Photographer), Scott O'Connor (Contribution by)
Docent Details is a one-of-a-kind book that describes docent life in art museums. If you ever wondered what museum life for an art docent consists of, this is the book for you. Ivy Hendy, an experienced docent, has created a non-technical, easy to read book for the would-be art docent or the tour guide wanting fresh tips. Being an art docent is an exceptional, lifelong pursuit, suitable for young and old. This user-friendly book will clarify and charm. Humorous illustrations and elucidating photos reinforce the absorbing stories and narrative. The book motivates, helps and encourages and along the way there are entertaining, fun-filled disclosures that you will discover about the odd, funny, rousing, bizarre and aggravating details that occur in day-to-day docent touring. There are eight chapters in the book. Each chapter speaks to a central theme that is encountered in both art docent training and in the actual pursuit of giving tours. For example, Docent Details answers the questions: do you need to be an artist and do you need to know anything about art to become a docent in an art museum? Also in the book are explanations and descriptions about the beginnings of art and art institutions, launching a tour, speaking to the public, what is necessary to know, making the case for contemporary art, and building relationships. From the beginning of docent training to becoming a full-fledged tour guide in an art museum, this amusing and practical book will answer questions you never thought to ask.
