Our Windows to Canadian Art program brings contemporary Canadian Art to a class full of eager young people, introducing them to the art and culture of our country. Unlike any program in the Lower Mainland, our Gallery Program offers students a deep, engaged dive into reading and making art. Classes spend half of the day in the gallery and half the day in the studio making work that responds to the exhibition they have studied in the gallery. All sessions are co-taught by the classroom teacher and an art expert teacher provided by Artists for Kids.
For the 2020-2021 school year, due to COVID-19 we will be offering our gallery program both virtually and outdoors!
Grades K-3: Three part Gallery Program1. An Introductory Video Scroll
down to find the video for your grade level that introduces the
exhibition. Reflect on the artworks with your class and then do a
drawing activity in response.
2. Outdoor Play Outreach Artists for Kids is offering direct K-3 support to each elementary school with Outdoor Play Outreach by facilitating safe outdoor learning, through the lens of the arts and place-based learning. Modelling how BC’s redesigned curriculum provides teachers with great flexibility in creating learning environments that are relevant, engaging, and novel, AFK educators will work with classroom teachers to consider their local outdoor contexts within a 60-minute lesson.
AFK will be directly contacting all elementary schools over the 2020-2021 school year to register classes.  AFK_Primary Outdoor Art_Activity and Learning Standards.pdf
