Activities
The activities require few materials and can be adapted to fit grade level and student needs. We recommend completing some or all of the activities prior to visiting the Gallery, as each learning activity is designed to provide students with background knowledge about the exhibition, featured artists, and their artworks. By completing these activities, students will enter the Gallery feeling excited and confident to explore the collection further with our Gallery educators.
Curriculum
Our Teacher Study Guides are created with a focus on the BC Arts Education curriculum for grades 2–12. Through the included learning activities, students will be able to practice a variety of curricular competencies, such as exploring, creating, communicating, and reflecting. Specific content points, such as the elements of design, observing a variety of regional, national, and international works of art, and exploring artistic traditions from diverse cultures, communities, times, and places will also be covered.
The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria is located on the traditional territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples, today known as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations. We extend our appreciation for the opportunity to live and learn on this territory.
