Drama and Visual Arts: Unit Review

Any two: many stakeholders (Teta, Gord, Dr. Feng, Owen's mom, Councillor Ambrose); trade-offs (every plan has a cost); uncertainty about future floods; values in conflict (home and memory versus safety).

Jump ahead in time to test a possible outcome of the choice, so you can compare outcomes before deciding.

Example: "...Communities around the world facing more heavy rain must make the same hard choice between protecting homes and giving rivers more room." Look for a link to a concern beyond one town.

Role and character, relationship, time and place, tension, focus and emphasis.

Thought tracking.

The audience sees both places at once, so they know something a character doesn't (for example, the council votes while Teta says they'd never make her leave).

Example: "The slow motion during the vote was effective because it stretched the key moment and built tension; the transition into it was a bit messy, so rehearsing the freeze would help." Look for a judgment, a reason and an improvement.

Example: "Grab the flashlight from the drawer. I'll check on Teta!" It accepts the situation and adds to it.

Consensus: everyone can support the decision. Compromise: each side gives up part of what it wanted.

Example: "I stayed in role when the reporter announced the vote had moved, and I built on it right away." Look for a specific example.

Examples: audio, a soundscape of rain; visual, cold blue side light or an empty chair; technological, a projected video or live camera.

The second sound cue.

Example: use gentle sounds, a simple drawing instead of a scary photo, and no sudden blackouts or loud crashes, so the message is clear and not frightening.

Film to stage: The Lion King (film 1994, Broadway 1997). Stage to screen: filmed Hamilton on streaming (2020), National Theatre Live in cinemas (since 2009) or filmed Come From Away (2021).

A close-up shows tiny expressions; on stage, actors must reach the back row.

Liveness: sharing the same moment; the audience's reactions affect the actors, and every show is a little different.

(a) economic, (b) cultural, (c) social.

Town guilds (trade groups), on pageant wagons in the streets.

To bring new life and visitors to his town with a Shakespeare festival.

It develops and produces work by Indigenous artists (founded in Toronto in 1982), so Indigenous stories are told in Indigenous artists' own voices, a cultural contribution.

Implied: the illusion something is moving (diagonals, repetition, blur). Directional: the path the eye travels to a focal point.

Tilted: unstable and dramatic. Wide base: calm and stable.

Repetition and blur: the legs, tail and leash are painted many times, like frames of a film.

About seven to eight heads; the hips are about halfway down.

Short, with a large hand (the near end) and the rest of the arm hidden or squashed behind it.

Isometric keeps parallel edges parallel with no vanishing points; perspective lines converge to vanishing points.

Any two: lines closer together; more directions (cross-hatching); press harder or use a thicker line.

On the table to the lower right, away from the light, darkest right under the ball.

Add a small, dark shape on the right (a dark tree or a bird); dark values carry visual weight.

Blue-violet.

A small area of colour in a mostly neutral or limited-colour work; it becomes a focal point.

Greys can feel serious, stark, historical or sad, and they let value, line and shape carry the message, as in Picasso's Guernica (1937).

(a) adapted, (b) appropriated, (c) maintained.

Any two: learn the meaning from the culture's own voices; credit sources; respect sacred designs; support artists from the culture; make it your own.

Real: you can feel it. Illusory: drawn or painted to look textured, but flat.

(a) economic, (b) political, (c) social.

Money given (not loaned) for an arts project, for example by the Canada Council for the Arts or the Ontario Arts Council.

$2,000 − $1,000 − $600 − $250 = $150.
