Elementary level
EXPRESSION’s educational services are offered in French only.
EXPRESSION hosts elementary-school groups for educational activities adapted to the different cycles. The students are invited to discover our exhibitions, stroll through the space, and be introduced to art and creation during fun-filled visits and stimulating made-to-measure creative workshops. A mediator may even come to your classroom! The varied approaches give students an opportunity to understand and appreciate artworks in different ways, notably through play, questions, and conversations.
