The AFK Gallery Program objectives are to provide opportunities for students to:
-Describe and respond to original works of art and explore artists’ intent within a gallery context
-Develop critical and interpretive skills needed to analyze and interpret works of art
-Observe, describe, and inquire how artists use processes, materials, and techniques to create and communicate
-Draw upon original works of art by Canadian artists as inspiration to develop their own artworks
-Explore artistic elements, processes, materials, and techniques through first hand studio art experiences
Paths,
the 2022-2023 teaching exhibition at the Gordon Smith Gallery will
feature artwork by over 20 Canadian artists exploring paths, both real
and imagined, through the mediums of painting, drawing, sculpture,
photography, collage, and printmaking. Featured artists will include
Russna Kaur, Charlene Vickers, Angela George, Gu Xiong, Emily Hermant,
Gordon Smith, Ross Penhall, Bill Reid, and Anne Meredith Barry.
The
works in the exhibition will show us that a path can be used to
communicate a direction, a line of thought, or a plan for action. Paths
can also be seen in representations of the natural world, taking the
form of forest trails, migratory patterns, maps, and water ways. We
invite you to join us at the Gordon Smith Gallery this fall to explore Paths,
an exhibition offering opportunities for cross-curricular, place-based
inquiry as well as rich connections to social and emotional learning.
Self-Guided Tours of the PATHS Exhibition
Artists for Kids invites K-12 teacher to use the Gordon Smith Gallery as their classroom and to book a time to bring a class for a half day self-guided
tour. This is a unique opportunity for your students to engage directly
with diverse works by Canadian artists and to learn through the lens of
the arts. We will provide two orientation sessions at the Gallery
for interested teachers - one in October and one in January. After
attending an orientation, teachers will have the opportunity to book
their self-guided tour, choosing from available dates.
The first orientation session will take place on Monday, October 24 from 3:30-4:30pm.
The second orientation session will take place on Thursday, January 5 from 3:30-4:30pm.
