Analyze the influence of social issues on the work of contemporary First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists, and share results.
| (a) |
Research First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists who use their art work to explore and comment on social issues (e.g., Susan Aglukark, Edward Poitras). |
| (b) |
Identify social factors that influence First Nations, Métis, and Inuit artists, their work, and careers (e.g., typecasting of actors, limited access to venues and markets). |
| (c) |
Investigate the work of artists that reflects a concern with historical events including Treaties and the impacts of colonization such as residential schools, racism, and marginalization. |
| (d) |
Create a plan to share the research findings with younger and older students and community members where possible (e.g., create a dance, drama, music performance, or visual installation). |
