She is the Students’ Representative Council’s Corporation Representative, the President of Bishop’s chapter of the Golden Key International Honors Society, and a key member of the Diversity Coalition. She is currently applying to graduate school in the field of Women’s and Gender Studies. Under the supervision of Bishop’s professors, Dr. Jean Manore and Dr. Cheryl Gosselin, and with the financial support of the Eastern Townships Research Centre, Ms. Tarasoff had the opportunity to delve into the Margaret Owens archival holdings, the Brome County Historical Association archives and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Library and Archives, in addition to having the chance to review archival material collected by Margaret Owens, Nina Owens’ granddaughter. Ms. Tarasoff’s spent a year exploring the life and work of Nina May (Pickel) Owens and it can clearly be seen in the article below that the young 21st century student connected and indeed fell in love with the 19th century Eastern Townships artist. —Editor ABSTRACT Nina May (PicKeL) Owens, one of Canada’s earLiest women artists, was born in BoLton Centre, Quebec, on June 16, 1869.

  • On Art Clubs and Classrooms: Navigating Artist/Teacher Identities by Looking at Anne Savage and Arthur Lismer
    On Art Clubs and Classrooms: Navigating Artist/Teacher Identities by Looking at Anne Savage and Arthur Lismer Joanna Black, University of Manitoba This article is dedicated to: students I have taught who are on the brink of pursuing careers in art education while desiring to foster their professional art practice, and Leah Sherman, and her part in the enriched experiences I had in the 1980s at Concordia University and the Museum of Fine Arts in Montreal. Through her, I was touched by the legacies of both Anne Savage and Arthur Lismer. “Do you think I can still ‘make’ my art when I teach?’ ask many soon to be teachers on the cusp of graduating from Bachelor of Education programs. They are uncertain about their ability to maintain their emerging artistic practice while teaching, and it is fitting to ask this key question given the two key role models seen by today’s graduates. On the one hand, their own university studio teachers are a dominant model representing the leading edge of art practice through the few tenure track positions at Schools of Art within higher education at the university. These young professional artists simultaneously maintain their ongoing artwork and exhibitions while having a career as a university art instructor/professor and it is expected and indeed vital that they continue art production. The second model, and the most immediate career path for most graduates in Art Education is within the kindergarten to grade twelve (K-12) public and alternative teaching profession, where there are few, if any professional expectations, pressures (or support) for K-12 art teachers to maintain a professional art practice.

  • Canada and Impressionism New Horizons New Canada and Impressionism New Horizons
    Atanassova Canada and Impressionism New Horizons Impressionism and Canada New Horizons Canada and Impressionism: New Horizons casts off the enduring notions asso- ciated with French Impressionism by shedding light on the contributions of Canadian artists to this widespread movement. The first of its kind, this publication adds a new chapter to the history of World Impressionism as it positions the work of the Canadian Impressionists within the cosmopolitan milieus of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Progressing from Impressionistic renderings of contemporary life to interpretations of reality through the lenses of Fauvism, Post-Impressionism, and subsequent modes of expression, Impressionism in Canada evolved into a form of modernity tailored to the spirit of a young nation. Canada and Impressionism New Horizons, 1880–1930 Katerina Atanassova Prologue by Adam Gopnik and essays by Tobi Bruce, Anna Hudson, Laurier Lacroix, Loren Lerner, Tracey Lock, Gerta Moray, Sandra Paikowsky National Gallery of Canada Arnoldsche Art Publishers Prologue: Canada and World Impressionism Adam Gopnik “As modern art becomes for us less a train racing forward than a many-sided landscape to be explored at leisure, and for pleasure, progress becomes a less certain term.” Impressionism is a misnamed French movement from the 1860s to the 1880s. Actualisme might have been closer to its true spirit, which was not to record a quick impression of a scene or place but to give permanent form to the ambivalent pleasures of modern life, and in a style shorn of rhetoric and the painstaking pomposity of official art. It was an art about light and life, and how each illuminates the other.
