This fall, we invite grade 1–6 students to explore the exhibition Nocturne. The program will embrace 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 through a guided online tour presentation and activity which can be done at home or in class.
The school program booking form will be added shortly.
