Chapter 1: About the Audio Description tour CUAG Audio Description Tour for Drawing on Our History

    • Visual Arts

This chapter introduces the audio description tour.
Hello - Welcome to the Audio Description tour for “Drawing on Our History.”  My name is Fiona Wright, and I am the educator at Carleton University Art Gallery, or “CUAG.” 
This audio description tour will provide you with an overall description of the exhibition, as well as specific artworks and installations. You’ll hear from a few of the artists as well. There were so many artworks to choose from – the exhibition has over 100 artworks in it! I hope that we’ve chosen ones that can give you a real sense of the diversity of artists, and their expansive use of drawing. 
The Audio Description tour will lead you on a path to ten art works from the CUAG collection, as well as three installations by contemporary Canadian artists. There will often be multiple chapters at each stop, which will include a description of an artwork, and then more information from the curators or artists. 
The total length of the tour is an hour long. You can skip or repeat the chapters on this tour at any time. At the end of each chapter, you will be notified when you can move to the next stop. You can find information about wayfinding in Chapter 4.
Please stay here to listen to the next 3 chapters.
