Contact the Saskatchewan Society for Education Through Art, local galleries, arts councils, or artists' organizations for assistance in obtaining information about artists and their work. Guests can be brought into the classroom at this stage to provide the students with information. An artist's visit would be an excellent opportunity if it could be arranged. If the students have been looking at a traditional art work, this would be an opportune time to embark on cross-cultural studies. Information about the designs, the people, the symbolism, and other aspects will enhance the students' understanding of the work and of the culture.
Students can discuss and exchange varying cultural perspectives.
In summary, what the students explore at this stage may range from the reading of an artist's statement to embarking on a major research project.
