elementary schools explore nocturne (grades 1–6)

Tuesdays–Fridays
26 January–19 March and 11 May–24 June 2021
10 am and 1 pm (excluding Friday afternoons)
Fee: $45/class

Our 2021 school program has moved online, available for both synchronous and asynchronous learning. We invite grade 1–6 students to explore the exhibition Nocturne. The 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 provide 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.

Elementary Schools Analyze Caricature (grades 5–8)

Tuesdays–Fridays
11 May–24 June 2021
10 am and 1 pm (excluding Friday afternoons)
Fee: $45/class

This spring we invite grade 5–8 classes to take part in an interactive school program based on the exhibition Humour Me. Caricature is a powerful art form that uses exaggeration and humour to convey social and political meaning. Focusing on critical literacy and media analysis, students learn about the history of this art form. They practice decoding historical caricature and contemporary media to identify underlying messages, values, intended audience, missing voices and their own bias. This program has strong curriculum links to the arts, social studies, history, geography and language.
