C2.3 describe, on the basis of research, past and present influences from around the globe on different arts disciplines (e.g., colonization and decolonization, technological developments, histor- ical immigration and settlement patterns, religion, philosophical or social movements)
Teacher prompts: “What information can you gather about the history of colonial Canada from the folk music of the time?” “In what ways has globalization influenced contemporary artists?”
By the end of this course, students will:
C3.1 identify and appropriately apply conventions associated with the experiencing of various types of art works (e.g., develop a protocol for etiquette in a gallery/museum, concert hall, or theatre, and create a poster illustrating this protocol)
Teacher prompts: “What types of behaviours can enhance the audience’s experience of a dance or drama performance? What behaviours can detract from the audience’s experience?” “Should we continue the tradition of not clapping between movements at an art music concert? Why or why not?”
C3.2 demonstrate an understanding of safe and conscientious work practices associated with the various arts disciplines, and apply these practices when engaged in the creative process (e.g., create a quiz based on Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System [WHMIS] guide- lines; follow instructional manuals or the teacher’s instructions when using new tools and technologies; demonstrate respect for the work of other students; create classroom rules and expectations through small-group discussions)
Teacher prompts: “Why should you not use spray paint in a classroom?” “What organiza- tions or unions are concerned with the safety of artists in your chosen media? Do they have specific safety guidelines? How do these apply to your work?”
C3.3 identify, on the basis of research, ethical
and legal practices related to the various arts disciplines, and apply these practices when creating, presenting, or promoting art works, including integrated art works/productions (e.g., use media from Creative Commons; use accepted sources for stock photography; seek permission and provide appropriate credit when borrowing from the work of visual artists, composers, and/or choreographers; respect cultural protocols when exploring First Nation, Métis, and/or Inuit art forms)
Teacher prompts: “Is it ethical for artists to borrow from the work of others?” “What copy- right considerations did you need to address in your work? How did you deal with them?” “What can you do to protect ownership of your art works if you submit them to contests or publications or present them at festivals or exhibitions?”
C3.4 identify environmental issues associated with the arts, and apply environmentally responsible practices when creating and presenting art works, including integrated
art works/productions (e.g., dispose of paint containers in an environmentally responsible way; recycle batteries and toner cartridges; source environmentally friendly materials)
Teacher prompts: “How can art affect the environment? How can the environment affect art?” “What are some ways in which an individual artist can contribute to the environment?”
