Virtual Learning Units

Calling all teachers, guardians and caretakers! Are you looking for additional learning activities? JNAAG is pleased to introduce a new program - Virtual Learning Units!

We are pleased to continue developing Virtual Learning Units. Each unit have been specifically designed with asynchronous learning in mind but can also be tailored to suit the needs in a physical classroom. Each package offers art based activities designed to give students an authentic experience. Each unit includes a series of videos and links to help guide you along. The series of videos includes viewing exercises, and a variety of hands on art making activities. A list of necessary materials is also included.

Express your interest today to find out more.

Unit 1: Body Flips

This unit focuses on beginner pencil crayon technique, collage, character drawing and creative response. Inspired by the collaborative drawings of Z’otz* Collective, you will learn to draw and collage your way to an interactive art work. You also have the chance to collaborate with Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery instructors as a way to simulate the experience of creatively responding to others drawings. 

Taking its name from the Mayan word for “bat,” Z’otz* Collective consists of three artists with Latin American roots: Nahúm Flores (Honduras), Erik Jerezano (Mexico), and Ilyana Martínez (Mexico/Canada). For over fifteen years, these artists have worked collaboratively out of a shared Toronto studio.

Unit 2 : Watercolour Techniques and Group of Seven Inspired Collage

This series of activities focuses on foundational colour theory, watercolour techniques and collage making. Inspired by the 100th anniversary of the Group of Seven as well as the inception of what would become the JNAAG’s permanent collection. Students will have the opportunity to explore a virtual exhibition and investigate a timelime and archival artifacts that will tell part of the story of art in Canada and Lambton County.
