Canadian Eh?! Regional, Multicultural and Global Influences: Geography Focus (Grades 9 to 12)
Exploring all things Canadian, this program has a special focus for Grade 9 and Grade 10 Visual Arts, and Canadian and World Studies students. Grade 9 students will explore how Canadian artists have represented a diverse land and people through a range of different art forms. Students also analyze how artists respond to Canada’s global connections including environmental issues and cultural influences.
Please note: This program also meets objectives of the Grades 11 and 12 curricula.
Program Concepts:
- Regional Diversity – How artists have explored Canada’s regional diversity and its’ impact on Canadian culture.
- Global Connections – How artists find influence and inspiration in their own culture, the culture of others and environmental issues for their own artistic expression.
Guided Gallery Visits are a student-centred learning experience that use inquiry based questioning strategies that encourage students to share their opinions and ideas about art. Students participate in activities that are interactive and that encourage critical thinking and creativity in the galleries.
Guided Gallery Visits for secondary school students are cross-curricular and cross-collection. Students will explore works of art from a variety of collection areas such as African, Canadian, Contemporary, and European. If there is a specific collection area you would like your students to visit as part of the larger program, please specify at the time of your booking.
