B4. Presentation and Promotion
Specific Expectations
B4.1
apply current technologies to present integrated art works/productions (e.g., add digitally designed lighting and music to enhance a dramatic presentation; present a virtual, interactive, and/or web-based version of a live project; present their work in a virtual gallery)
- How can you use technology to support your message?
- Why can a presentation in a virtual gallery reach a broader audience than one in a traditional museum or gallery?
B4.2
apply appropriate standards, conventions, cultural protocols, and practices associated with the preparation, promotion, and presentation of art works, including integrated art works/productions, for a variety of purposes (e.g., format works for presentation in a gallery or for inclusion in a portfolio; use the appropriate procedures and tools to promote a production, including posters, tickets, and programs; write an artist’s statement to accompany their work, acknowledging the First Nations, Métis, or Inuit artist(s) who inspired them; preface their art performance by acknowledging the traditional territory on which it is taking place; make an offering, provide a small gift, and/or say a prayer to honour all the elements used in the creation of an art work; ask an Elder, Métis Senator, local knowledge keeper, or local knowledge holder to open an art presentation with a smudge, a prayer, or remarks)
- How will you acknowledge the First Nation, Métis, or Inuk artist who inspired your work?
- How might you organize and present the work in your portfolio to highlight the First Nations, Métis, or Inuit perspectives that inform your artistic intent?
- How might you draw your audience’s attention to works by the artist who inspired your dance troupe’s production?
- What information do you need to determine the budget required to present your work in a school or community setting? What record-keeping techniques could you use to document the expenses incurred to present your work and/or income earned from the sale of your work?
B4.3
modify an art work/production to suit a target audience (e.g., use volume, tone, accent, pace, gesture, and facial expression to reveal character to an audience of children; use direction of gaze to enhance the mood when performing a dance outdoors; use audio software to add sound effects for audience members with visual challenges)
- How will you modify your dance troupe’s presentation so that elementary students will understand and appreciate the story or message?
- How does your choice of target audience influence the way you present and promote your work of art?
