$60/class; (*Limestone District School Board is supporting their classes by covering this fee.)
30 students/class
We invite students in grades 1–8 to engage with Agnes exhibitions. Students will reflect on place, and the concept of making home, as we observe and explore artworks in a variety of mediums by local Katarokwi-Kingston artists. Led by Agnes docents this program includes a 45-minute tour and a 45-minute artmaking activity.
Agnes School Programs are free for Limestone District School Board classes thanks to the continuing support of their board. This past fall, this partnership brought over 600 LDSB students to Agnes!
Go to Reflecting on Lii Zoot Tayr
We invite students in grades 9–12 to reflect on the exhibition Lii Zoot Tayr (Other Worlds) an exhibition that features the work of five contemporary Métis artists. Students consider the themes present in the exhibition including in/visibility, unseen forces and the natural environment. This asynchronous school program is designed to enrich Indigenous arts education with connections to the curriculum.
Go to the School Program, Nocturne
We invite grade 1–6 students to explore the exhibition Nocturne. This asynchronous program embraces the sensory exploration of the night while considering the landscape genre in Historical Canadian Art. Artists’ enduring fascination with the hours between sunset and sunrise provides the foundation for curriculum links in poetry, painting and perspective.
