10:00 am – 1l: 30 am – Program 1 (Recommended gr. K – 2) – Shapes that Speak
- Guided Visit + Hands-on Activity: Includes a guided museum visit and an artmaking activity where students use shapes to tell their own stories of identity, memory, and place.
- What can we learn about cultural belongings from their shapes?
- In this program, young learners will think about how shapes, textures, and movement can be used to express feelings, memories, and relationships. While visiting a selection of belongings in MOA’s collection, students will reflect on how Indigenous makers use art to share knowledge, express land sovereignty, and reflect cultural identity, while building core competencies in art, math, and social studies. After exploring the collections, students can engage in a hands-on community mural activity in MOA’s Learning Lab to practice telling their own stories through shapes.
11:30 – Noon – Reserved space in the lunch room – Bring your own bag lunch.
12:15 pm – 1:45 pm – Program 2 (Recommended Gr. 3 – 8) – Learning from Artworks + Belongings
- How can we learn from cultural belongings and artworks? What can these works reveal about the people connected to them?
- In this program, students will enjoy a guided gallery tour spotlighting belongings and artworks that embody rich, diverse stories and histories. Students will be invited to make observations, inferences, and reflections about how these works inspire learning and inquiry. Following the tour, students will visit the MOA Learning Lab and engage in a hands-on activity.
- Arts-based Activity: Taking inspiration from Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas’ Bone Box, students will create a collective mural depicting belongings that are precious to them, reflecting on how belongings tell stories and ethical considerations of sharing belongings in museums.
