Grade level 1-2

On a tour of the current exhibition, students will discover and experience how artists have left their mark through their works. Students are encouraged to take a closer look: What is depicted? How are the lines, shapes, and colors chosen? What stories do the artworks tell? 

In the subsequent workshop, students will create their own works of art using a selection of chalk and pencils to playfully try out different techniques. The students are invited to explore a range of materials: How does it feel to draw with a hard pencil? How does a soft pencil change the picture? 

At the end of the workshop, the class will reflect on their work together through sharing their experiences and discovering how the choice of materials and techniques has shaped their artwork.
