CR30.2
Critically respond to art work by Canadian artists whose subject matter is related to resistance and/or resilience.
Indicators for this outcome
| (a) | Conduct an inquiry into how art works can be acts, or representations, of resistance and resilience (e.g., What is the relationship between art and resistance and resilience? Does art have power to inspire social and political change? How does art contribute to individual or collective resilience? How can art-making support mental health and wellness?). |
| (b) | Examine how artists over time, and in various parts of the world, have responded to events involving acts of resistance and demonstrations of resilience (e.g., visual documentation of wars and genocide, African apartheid, Latin American artists’ responses to political injustices). |
| (c) | Respond to traditional and evolving work of First Nation, Métis and Inuit artists whose subject matter speaks to experiences of resistance and resilience (e.g., Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls art works and projects, treaty education outcome TR12 - examine one’s position regarding the importance of the treaty relationship for the social, cultural and economic prosperity of all Saskatchewan and Canadian people.). |
| (d) | Discuss how concerns about the abuse of power are represented in works by Canadian artists (e.g., subject matter related to anti-racism, environmental sustainability, gender equity, political cartoons, comic book illustrations). |
| (e) | Use one or more approaches for responding critically to the visual art examples studied (e.g., write a formal critique or research paper using proper format including citations, create own work in response). |
