Take a virtual trip to AGNES this school year

Announcing our fall school program!

This fall our school program is moving online, available for both synchronous and asynchronous learning. We invite grades 1–6 students to explore the exhibition Nocturne. The program embraces sensory exploration of the night while considering the landscape genre in Canadian historical art. Artists’ enduring fascination with the hours between sunset and sunrise provides the foundation for curriculum links in poetry, painting and perspective. This 45-minute program includes a guided online tour presentation and activity, which can be done at home or in class.

AGNES Learns is a digital resource for teachers, children and families. Artworks from the Agnes collection inspire fun ways to explore, understand and get creative. These short videos and accompanying lesson plans, designed for children in grades 1–8, encourage deep looking and delve into topics such as the five senses, form and pose, imagination, identity and expression.

Virtual PA Day Art Activities

Inspired by exhibiting artist Chantal Rousseau’s animal watercolours, young artists ages 6–12 will take inspiration from the natural world, exploring and collecting objects in outside spaces to create their own animal artworks. This program takes place over two virtual lessons scheduled in the morning and afternoon. The camp size is kept small with a maximum of 14 campers. Parental guidance is welcome, but not mandatory.
