Artists represent 0.8% of the overall labour force in Canada. • Among large Canadian cities, Vancouver has the highest concentration of artists in the local labour force. Three of the four cities with the highest artistic concentrations are in British Columbia – Vancouver, Victoria and North Vancouver District Municipality. Of the nine large cities with artistic concentrations above 1.0%, five are in British Columbia: o Vancouver ranks first among large cities with an artistic concentration of 2.4%; o Victoria has the second-highest concentration of artists (2.0%); o North Vancouver (District Municipality) has the fourth-highest artistic concentration among large cities (1.8%); o Saanich ranks eighth (1.2%); o New Westminster is ninth (1.1%); • 30% of B.C.’s artists reside in Vancouver (7,250), compared with 14% of the province’s overall labour force. • British Columbians spent “$3.6 billion on cultural goods and services in 2005 or 3.2% of total consumer spending in the province. The $3.6 billion in consumer spending on culture is more than four times larger than the $780 million spent on culture in British Columbia by all levels of government in 2003/04. On a per capita basis, British Columbians’ cultural spending is the second highest of all provinces at $886 per resident.”5 4 Source: “Artists in Large Canadian Cities,” Hill Strategies Research Inc., Statistical Insights on the Arts, Vol. 4 No. 4 Mar. 2006.

  • Chronology of Daphne Odjig's Life: Attachment #1
    Chronology of Daphne Odjig’s life: Attachment #1 Excerpt p.p. 137 – 141 The Drawings and Paintings of Daphne Odjig: A Retrospective Exhibition by Bonnie Devine Published by the National Gallery of Canada in collaboration with the Art Gallery of Sudbury, 2007 1919 Born 11 September at Wikwemikong Unceded Indian Reserve, Manitoulin Island, Ontario, the first of four children, to Dominic Odjig and his English war bride Joyce Peachy. Odjig’s widowed grandfather, Jonas Odjig, lives with the family in the house he had built a generation earlier and which still stands in Wikwemikong today. The family is industrious and relatively prosperous by reserve standards. Jonas Odjig is a carver of monuments and tombstones; Dominic is the village constable. The family also farms their land, raises cows, pigs, and chickens and owns a team of horses. 1925 Begins school at Jesuit Mission in Wikwemikong. An avid student, she turns the family’s pig house into a play school where she teaches local children to read and count. When they tire of her instruction she converts the play school into a play church and hears their confessions. The family is musical. Daphne plays the guitar; Dominic the violin. They all enjoy sing-a-longs and music nights listening to a hand-cranked phonograph. She develops a life-long love of opera singing. She is athletic and participates in the annual fall fairs at Manitowaning, the nearest off-reserve town, eight miles away, taking prizes in running and public speaking. Art is her favourite subject and she develops the habit of sketching with her grandfather and father, both of whom are artistic.

    DEVELOPMENT OF AN ACTIVITY AND APPRECTATION ART CURRTCULUM FOh NATIVE STUDENTS IN JUNTOR HIGH SCHOOLS A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Graduate Studies University of Manitoba In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Education by Dennis Gordon Siemens April t.974 ABSTRACT 1/ca¡ni¿s Problem This study was meant to provide the opportunity for Native children to gaJ-n knowledge and skills in the traditional Native craft of beading and also to provide an opportunity for them to become cognizant of the work and lives of some contemporary Canadlan Indian artists. Thís was done through the development and testing of two units of art and craft curriculum material: an activity unit which dealt with the history and skil1 of beading; an appreciation unit which dealt with critical evaluation and appreciation of paintings by eight Canadian Indian Painters. It was hypothesized that, based on the nul1 hypo- thesis, there would be no significant difference in the pre and post tests to both the activity and appreciation unjts. In addition, questions were raised concerningr certain affective aspects of the instruction. Procedure Two classes of grade seven students from the Joseph Burr Tyrell School in Fort Smith, Northwest Terri- tories constituted the sample for the study. All the students received instruction in both units of the curriculum. An audiovisual approach was used in both units and the acl,ivil-y uniL also j-ncl-ucled a work periocl during which exploration and manj-pulation of materials was encouraged. The scores of the pre and post tests when applied to a trt' test indicated a level of significance well i beyond that required by the hypotheses, alloviing their rejection.

The artworks within this guide and images required for the learning activities and culminating task can be found in the Norval Morrisseau Image File provided. Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau (1931–2007) is considered by many to be the Mishomis, or grandfather, of contemporary Indigenous art in Canada. He is known for creating a distinctive style of painting that came to be known as the Woodland School, and for addressing a wide range of themes in his work, from spiritual beliefs to colonial history. Throughout his career, he explored ways of thinking about the land, and many of his most famous paintings emphasize the idea of land as a relation; Morrisseau believed that people live in relationship with animals, plants, the earth, and the spiritual world, a conviction shared by many Indigenous communities.
