lakehead visual arts professor one of only three rca inductees from northwest
(may 14, 2008, thunder bay, on) 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is proud to announce that ann clarke, visual arts professor, will be inducted into the royal canadian academy of arts (rca) this summer. clarke is known for her abstract paintings, through which a multitude of colours, lines, and layers are characteristic. ann earned the induction for a body of work, of which her piece envelop is representative. it is an acrylic painting (with paper) on canvas.
celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2005, the rca is one of canada's most enduring cultural institutions. it comprises over 700 established professional artists working in 20 visual arts disciplines across the country, with mediums including painting, sculpture, architecture, design, fine craft, photography, and filmmaking. only two other northwestern ontario-based artists have received this honour in the past - ojibwe painter norval morisseau and multi-media artist sarah link. link is a ceramics instructor in lakehead's visual arts department, and has taught at the university for many years.
as clarke explains, "for canadian artists, being recognized for this award by one's colleagues is of similar importance as that of a filmmaker receiving an oscar." however, she also recognizes the struggle that many artists - young and old - tend to endure along their journey to artistic success, recognition, and fulfillment. clarke herself has been a professional artist for approximately 40 years, and admits that although her endeavours haven't always been easy, she considers herself lucky to have received so much peer support over the years. she encourages artists who are trying to make a name for themselves to "keep moving forward with the work, and continue to feed your souls with the art that moves you - even when society may not appreciate your pieces for what they're worth. talent is certainly a component of artistic success, but it all comes down to how much drive the artist has."
this year, clarke's visual arts teaching portfolio included first-year and second-year drawing, third and fourth year advanced and senior painting, and supervision of fourth-year major studio thesis 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
.
in order to be considered for rca membership, candidates must be nominated by an existing member and backed by seven additional members - all of whom must be in good standing with the organization. ann will be inducted into the rca at the organization's annual general meeting which takes place in toronto on june 14. an additional 22 artists from across canada will also be inducted.
