The First Nations Culture kit presents traditional art forms of Coastal and Plains Indians in a cultural context. Family Workshops Modelled on the Art Encounter workshops for schools, these programs are developed to expand understanding of exhibition content. Studio-based workshops include exhibition tours and activities within the galleries. Socialization and shared discovery are emphasized and the Gallery is presented as a user-friendly resource for family outings. Looking at Art Exhibition Tours encourage personal discovery and learning about contemporary art through discussion based in multilevel questioning and the provision of information about exhibits.
All tours are highly interactive and tailored to the needs and interests of the visiting group.
Post Concert Tours Are presented as an introduction to the Gallery in general, as well as to current exhibitions. These courses offer primarily adult and teen entry-level opportunities in drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpting and photography for Surrey residents. Education programs attempt to achieve these objectives by actively involving children, teachers and the accompanying parents in discovery-based learning about art, using a Cooperative Learning approach. Assisted tours Staff facilitate teacher and parent learning, as well as student learning, by consultation with teachers to help them prepare to lead their classes on tours. This service often includes mini-tours of the current exhibitions.
