Welcome to the course! This course is about the history of art in Canada; the notable artists, including Lawren Harris, Norval Morrisseau, David Milne and others, as well as famous art groups including the Group of Seven and Les Automatistes. It's also about cultural identity and how artists, arts institutions, political events and the government have influenced and shaped Canada's unique identity and sense of self.

The course is self-paced; designed for ultimate flexibility. Learn when and where you want!

The tiles (to the right) will provide an overview of how the course is organized.

The course is designed for learners to engage--to seek out learning by exploring and interacting with curated content. Passive learning, like watching videos exclusively is out---reading, digging deeper into web content, exploring images is in!

Each module includes a digital collage, like this one, with artworks to explore, web exhibitions to view and more content to dive into.

Learning, gaining new perspectives and ways of thinking happens through reflection, consideration and synthesis of information in light of your point of view and experiences. Which is why the course includes assignments designed to get you to think about and apply the content by writing responses, essays, and creating mini-exhibitions of artworks around a theme.

The course includes assignments  in each module with clear instructions, self-assessment checklists, and instructor examples via video. Open your mind and develop your skills with  thoughtful and interesting assignments!
