3. Then check the web-site of the National Gallery of Canada library to see what specialized material may be available at this location. You can visit this library at the times posted on the web-site, but remember this collection is for reference only and does not circulate, so go prepared to take notes or to photocopy what you need.
4. Finally read Gerald McMaster, ?Our (Inter)Related History,? and Aaron Glass, ?(Cultural) Objects of (Cultural) Value,? in Lynda Jessup and Shannon Bagg, eds., On Aboriginal Representation in the Gallery (2002) and Anne Whitelaw, ?Placing Aboriginal Art at the National Gallery of Canada,? Canadian Journal of Communication 31 (2006): 197-214 to understand why the Canadian historical galleries include both Euro-Canadian and Aboriginal works. For further information see also McMaster?s ?Towards an Aboriginal Art History,? in Jackson Rushing, ed., Native American Art in the Twentieth Century (1999).
5. Write a 10-page, typewritten, double-spaced paper in 12-point type (not counting footnotes, endnotes or bibliography), which discusses what is known about the example you have selected from the above-noted list. Then consider how the chosen work relates to other Euro-Canadian works in the same gallery and to the aboriginal works placed closest to it. In what ways are the surrounding works similar and in what ways do they differ from one another? What do you think your findings mean in terms of changing categories relating to Canadian historical art? What complexities do you see in meeting McMaster?s aspiration for an ?inter-related? history?
Begin your paper with a thesis (hypothesis) to guide the reader about the direction of your discussion. Structure each paragraph to introduce and discuss each point in your discussion in an orderly manner. Sum up your analysis with a brief conclusion.
Your paper should include footnotes or endnotes, together with the bibliography of the art historical sources to which you refer, in the format required by the ?SSAC: Art History Guidelines? (attached). To the extent possible, include photocopied illustrations with captions, identifying the artist, title, date, and collection from which the piece is drawn.
