Get the inspiration you need from our resource centres. We offer a rich array of resources to help aspiring and practicing teachers as well as teacher-educators.

Do you need to teach a lesson for a grade 2 class about symbolism as a means of expressing specific meaning? Or a lesson for a grade 8 class on how visual artists use processes, materials and technologies to create and communicate ideas?

The Art Education Resource Center, situated in the heart of the art ed studios, provides studio assistance to faculty and students throughout the year. We also offer a lending library of visual supports, print materials, as well as studio equipment to support course activities, practicum and exploratory course activities.
