CP30.4
Use inquiry to create art work inspired by Canadian artists whose work responds to socially relevant topics (e.g., sustainability, social justice, diversity and inclusion).
Indicators for this outcome
(a) Create an art work based on individual or collaborative inquiry, including for example:
  • generating questions for inquiry about the social issues reflected in the work of Canadian artists (e.g., How do art works influence change? How can art raise awareness about environmental, social and economic sustainability issues?)
  • comparing and contrasting the work of Canadian artists
  • researching and viewing works of recognized Canadian artists
  • experimenting with techniques and media used by Canadian artists
  • documenting inquiry through own art work
  • sharing inquiry findings or learnings with others (e.g., classmates, school, community).
(b) Discuss how own art work reflects personal experiences and identity (e.g., newcomer experiences, cultural ways of knowing, personal wellness, gender and sexual diversity).
(c) Contribute to a visual art project to raise awareness about a socially-relevant topic (e.g., dedicated commemorative days and special events, public art installation, community arts events, artist in residence projects).
