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.
Crispi Lord, Peace Akintade, Carole Epp, Grahame Kent & Danielle Roy, Lancelot Knight, and Mitchell Larsen.
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.
Artists featured are: Crispi Lord, Peace Akintade, Carole Epp, Grahame Kent & Danielle Roy, Lancelot Knight and Mitchell Larsen.
Artists cover a wide spectrum of personalities, backgrounds, and artistic mediums. These include Indigenous, newcomer, refugee, queer, neuordivergent, male, female, non-binary, ages 19 to 40+, theatre, puppetry, sculpture, spoken word, music and dance.
