TEACHER TRAINING Enquiries regarding Teacher Training should be directed to the Dean, The College of Education, University of British Columbia. FOREWORD The Voncouver School of Art is completing its thirtieth year of service this year. "The Art School" (as it is familiarly known to its area) has built itself solidly into the artistic life of the Canadian West. For its first twenty-five years, under the directorship of Charles H. Scott, it did a pioneer job of organization—of getting a curriculum established, of assembling adequate equipment, of training a staff, in short, of establishing its pattern of existence within the framework of the Vancouver School Board and the Provincial education system. The fact that the School is now on a secure footing, with a serious, coordinated programme and an inspired and well integrated staff is directly attributable to those early years of stabilizing. For the concept of an Art School had literally to be built in the still more or less frontier West. The present Vancouver School of Art can stand squarely to the future, and is able to absorb and project the new philosophies and techniques that are certain to be demanded with British Columbia's phenomenal expansion over the next decade. It is certain that this expansion will be not only industrial, but will consolidate new cultural patterns as prosperity and popu• lation growth bring a higher living standard, and bring our living into closer cultural contact with the whole outside world; and to judge by the increasing public demand for lively tele• vision, for live theatre and ballet, for up-to-date buildings, for crafts of all kinds to do and to buy, for better clothes and better objects for home use, for better fabrics and more pictures, all our arts and crafts seem due to flourish, and, of course, the advertising arts will have a hey-day. In such on atmosphere of optimism there can be only one course for a responsible Art School —steady ahead, and to chart this course the Vancouver School of Art offers thirty years of experience, a creatively contributing staff, many of whom have achieved national reputation, and a wise basic curriculum, which has avoided quick tricks and slick styles. Our record stands on the high number of soundly trained graduates whose sure knowledge enables them to adapt, and yet to hold standards. This will continue to be our tradition—the maintenance of a thorough-going workshop control with the maximum freedom of experimentation. The ingredients of the art student's study programme cover four broad aspects: Structure: Analysis of all natural forms and of the principles on which they are constructed. Composition: Exploration of all phases of relationship between form and form, in pattern or in depth, and in whatever idiom they may be projected. Technique: Mastery of the techniques and craft in the creation and adaptation of oil design processes. Taste: Awakening of the senses to new intensities of reaction in order to perceive the unique and the distinguished. Experience: Stimulation of the mind to fuller realization of the meaning of experiences con• veyed, so that imagination moy be stirred, ond imaginary, in consequence take on wider relevance and subtler symbolic depth. To these aims we are dedicated. We feel we have a stake in B.C.'s future, in every architect's building where an artist's decoration is visible, in every well-arranged room in a local house, in every well-designed product used, in the quality of our magazine advertisements, in the good jewellery that people wear, in attractive posters on our billboards, in exciting pictures in our Art Gallery, in every lively discussion in the local press or radio we are there in spirit, we want our beneficent influence to be felt. CURRICULUM FIRST YEAR DESIGN Study of design principles; anatomy of pattern, material and abstract forms, historic orna• ment, etc. A study of colour theory and practice showing colour effects, mixing and relation. Two dimensional experiment in line and texture. DESIGN WORKSHOP Experiment in space, form and texture in various materials; e.g., wood, metal, paper, wire, etc. Employment of basic techniques with hand and simple power tools. COMMERCIAL DESIGN Basic lettering, block and Roman lettering, layout, printing, techniques and advertising psychology. ELEMENTARY DRAWING Analysis of natural and man-made objects for their shape, character, construction and volume. Techniques for creating solid form are established through a study ot still life, drapery, cast and landscape, and such principles are observed as rhythmic grouping, directions of movement, and tonal massing of light and shadow. COMPOSITION A basic course in the elements of picture making. Intensive study is made of natural and man-made forms. Outdoor sketching is a major part of the course. This course is a neces• sary preliminary to later work in painting and graphic art. SCULPTURE The student is introduced to the basic study of sculpture of form in bas-relief and Full-round through the medium of clay-modelling. Projects in mask-making will acquaint the student with the technique of papier-mache. SECOND YEAR An elementary Diploma Course of two years gives a thorough grounding in basic subjects. INTRODUCTION TO OIL PAINTING This course will lay the foundation in simple techniques of priming, sizing, choosing colours and using the painter's tools. It will include the recognition and mixing of colours, the rela• tion between the colour ond tone plans and the identification of a colour theme.

The concern for leisure and pleasure was central to the artist's modernism, even after he began painting in a semi-abstract manner around 1948. In this particular construction of modernism, Binning offered pleasure as an antidote to some of the anxieties he observed in postwar culture.

    DOROTHY KNOWLES'S RURAL LANDSCAPE PAINTING: MODERNITY AND TRADITION IN URBAN SASKATCHEWAN By COLLEEN MARIE SKIDMORE B.A., The University of Saskatchewan, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Fine Arts) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 1989 © Colleen Marie Skidmore, 1989 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, 1 agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study.

Department of Fine Arts The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date 21 April 1989 DE-6f3/81) ii ABSTRACT Between 1955 and 1965, Saskatchewan painter Dorothy Knowles established her main category and style of production as "painterly" representation of rural landscape. The literature to date attributes the emergence of this practice to Knowles's encounter with Clement Greenberg, the patriarch of formalist criticism, at the 1962 Emma Lake Artists' Workshop. In fact, critic Andrew Hudson has called Knowles's work "the most important art to emerge out of Greenberg's workshop." Herein lies the problem central to this thesis: how did a woman artist negotiate (with critical and market success) the gender constraints of her artistic context while addressing additional social and artistic issues by means of rural landscape painting? Previous examinations have constructed Knowles's landscape work as an autonomous, "feminine" and artist- centred activity.
