AGH: Learn at Home – Week Four

AGH Collection and Curriculum Connections

(Kindergarten-Grade 12)

Talking About Art: Part of a Story – Five key works from the AGH Collection will provide opportunities to explore the different parts of a narrative from beginning (setting and character), to middle (crisis and climax) and end, and why each part is important to storytelling and art.

Art and Math:  Perspective and Space –  Using Alex Colville’s iconic Horse and Train, students will discover the relationship between math and the illusion of space. Concepts include converging lines, single-point perspective, and the relationship between size and distance.

ONLINE ARTIST LED PROJECTS

(Kindergarten-Grade 8)

Water Colour Exploration: Express Yourself with Visual Artist Nancy Benoy
Using watercolour (or any paints on hand) students will gain an understanding of how much of a role emotion plays in artmaking as they create paintings based on feelings, inspired by poetry or short stories. We will also take a look at historical artists and how they conveyed emotion.

AGH Youth Film Challenge

(Grades 4-12)

The AGH Film Festival’s annual Youth Film Challenge is accepting short films from aspiring filmmakers of all ages. Making a movie with a phone or Ipad is very easy, and is a productive use of screen time that engages literacy in developing storytelling skills.  Our artist-educators can help through our Online projects.
