Shaw Creative Journeys

Theatre, Visual, and Media Arts for Grades 1-7

This innovative program explores the theme of voyages through theatre, visual, and media arts. An immersive day of arts activities helps students in grades 1-7 develop critical thinking skills, explore creative expression, and better understand the world they live in.

During this one-day field trip, students are given the supplies to craft an artistic interpretation or response during a number of thematically linked arts classes. Before or after the field trip, teachers may use the Teacher Resource Guides provided by Arts Umbrella to continue the learning and further explore themes of voyages and inclusivity.

Field trips take place at our Granville Island and South Surrey facilities. School groups are provided with a lunchroom or suitable space to accommodate a full-day field trip experience.
