Canadian art can be a powerful foundation for multidisciplinary learning in any environment. The Art Canada Institute independent student learning activities are designed as multimedia learning experiences that incorporate images, texts, and videos. They can be distributed directly to students and support learning online and at home.
Canadian art is a door to learning about a wide range of subjects. The Art Canada Institute teacher resource guides presented here offer students the opportunity to study a multitude of subjects—from environmental awareness to activism, social justice to gender studies, politics to computer science (to name a few)—through the art and artists who have defined this country’s visual culture.
