D3.3 identify, on the basis of research, careers that support the development and promotion of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit art locally, regionally, and nationally (e.g., art auctioneer, artistic director, curator, educator, professor, graphic designer, website developer), and compare the skills required in those careers
Sample questions: “What are some ways that the artistic director of a contemporary dance company could promote the work of emerging First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists? What specific skills would he or she need to do so?” “What skills do curators and professors of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit art share? In what ways do their skills differ?”
D3.4 identify and evaluate opportunities to become engaged and gain experience in artistic and cultural endeavours beyond the classroom (e.g., helping to design, create, and put up decorations for community plays, exhibitions, or festivals; designing posters for a variety of events; volunteer- ing at a local arts-related organization; conducting research on arts-appreciation opportunities in their community and creating a list of the most relevant ones)
Sample questions: “What are some activities that support and promote the work of local artists?” “What opportunities can you identify to become involved in artistic endeavours in the school or community?” “In what specific ways might you use an arts event as an opportunity to raise funds to help promote and present future events?”
