ArtVenture Online

This Canadian website, developed by the McMichael Collection, aims to inspire children to create art based on well-known Canadian artists and their works. Activities are organized by age group, and include projects that connect students to information about the artist, a highlighted work of art, downloadable art files, and gallery videos. The attractive website can be useful for students to explore selected works, art history, and the creative process, and to gain an understanding of Canadian artistic expression. Teachers can use the resource to support their pre-existing art program or use individual projects for extension activities or guided inquiry.
