Adventures in Art
Welcome to the Adventures in Art (AIA) page! The 2026–2027 school year marks the 32nd anniversary of Adventures in Art!
We invite JMS parents and guardians to volunteer and help bring art into the classroom. This year, our middle school students will participate in five exciting art projects during their PE classes.
Become an AIA Docent
Docents lead students through each art project. All docents must attend training sessions before teaching the projects. If you would like to become a docent, please complete the JMS Volunteer Form, Docent Volunteer Agreement, and AIA Volunteer Sign-Up Form so we have your contact information.
Prefer to Help Behind the Scenes?
We need plenty of parent volunteers too! Volunteers help prepare art supplies before training sessions and assist students in the classroom while docents teach. No teaching experience is necessary.
If you would like to assist a docent, please complete the JMS Volunteer Form and AIA Volunteer Sign-Up Form so we can keep you informed of important dates and times.
Thank you for helping us make Adventures in Art a wonderful experience for our Jaguars!

Adventures in Art Mission
Adventures in Art in TUSD and at JMS is a volunteer implemented fine arts program annually providing five elementary and five middle school projects to participating schools. Adventures in Art projects are specially selected to give students the opportunity and methodology to create their own unique art solutions while using fine art materials. Adventures in Art philosophy is grounded in the belief that a child's art experience should focus on the process rather than the finished product. Adventures in Art is dedicated to expanding the creative spirit in children in a nonjudgmental environment. The goal of the Adventures in Art program is to build a solid foundation of artistic exploration and fun that will interest, inspire and motivate children to confidently and skillfully create works of art beyond our program's annual projects.
