Homer Watson House and Gallery’s school programs are back in session! Our programs accommodate grades K-12 and are designed to provide a high-quality, unique educational experience through the historical lens of Homer Watson. Aligning with diverse curricular objectives, our programs encourage students to collaborate, think critically, and enhance their ability to articulate thoughts and feelings about art through discussion and creative activities. 

Students will be guided on an interactive tour of the gallery, engaging in conversations to expand their awareness of the arts and visual cultures, and encourage personal connections in interpreting art. During the visit, students will also participate in an artist-led activity designed to foster creativity, develop technical skills, and cultivate personal and collective expression. 

Artistic Exploration: 

Focus: A comprehensive tour of the gallery’s collection and current exhibition, emphasizing artistic techniques, and the principles and elements of design, followed by a creative workshop.

For both options, teachers can choose from different workshop offerings upon registration to best suit their class. We are happy to accommodate any specific needs to ensure the best possible experience for your class. 

A field trip to HWHG offers an exceptional opportunity for students to engage in imaginative art-making within a professional setting, ensuring an enjoyable and enriching experience. We hope to see you soon!
