Ask Artists

Ask Artists is a new inquiry-based learning program for teachers and students. Each episode is an in-depth and intimate journey with a Saskatchewan artist. Artists share candid moments and show students that artists are real people with skills, successes, failures and dreams.

Each artist also provides instruction on a project inspired by the Grades 5 to 9 Arts Education Goals and Summarized Outcomes from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education.

On top of providing students with artistic skills ranging from storytelling to vocal performance, artists cover a variety of social topics such as racism, personal identity, embracing failure and breaking stereotypes. All artists live and work in Saskatchewan and are filmed at venues around Saskatoon.
