Children in Calgary, Alberta, sitting around and listening to the radio in the 1920s

Direct Evidence: You can see four children sitting around the radio while one of the children has the headphones on and is listening to the radio Indirect Evidence: The curious and interested children that wished to know more portray the quick spreading use of the radio in Canada. In the 1920s, the radio was used to broadcast most forms of entertainment, as radios were the most affordable source of broadcasted entertainment. The radios played cheap dramas, educational pieces, music, and many other quick and easy forms of broadcasted artistry. The advancements in technology can be related back to the fact that the 1920s were the beginning of the modernised, technology-oriented world, and how the spreading of radios and technology allowed Canadian and American broadcasters to make money, and spread their work/messages to many households across the country. Radios were used by most people in the country, including children, like portrayed in this photo. The photo can indirectly be traced back to the large use of radio-technology broadcasting in the 1920s due to the sight of even children sitting around using the radio in what appears to be a casual, calm, fashion.

Direct Evidence: The old time-y video shows Mary Pickford in colour, posing for a camera to test colour. Mary is dressed in seemingly expensive clothing & is wearing seemingly expensive makeup. Mary is wearing the same costume seen in the movie `The Black Pirate` Indirect Evidence: Mary Pickford in this video is smiling for the camera, flaunting in front of the testing of colour video. It can be inferred that she was extremely wealthy and highly regarded by the cinematic world because of her appearances in early colour video. Mary Pickford was dressed in the same costume as The Black Pirate so it can be inferred that she was screen testing for the movie. The Black Pirate was one of the movies Mary Pickford was in, and she later went to win an academy award for her future work. She also became the first actress to earn a million dollars yearly. Just from this 2 minute clip, we can see a lot of Mary`s personality, her confidence, and her large appearance in the cinematic scene as it began to flourish. The clip can show us a lot about "America's Sweetheart", or whatever footage of her was preserved.

The Group of Seven - A group of Canadian artists in the 1920s who transformed Canadian Identity in the world of Visual Arts. The original Group of Seven consisted of Franklin Carmichael, Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson, Franz Johnston, Arthur Lismer, J.E.H. Macdonald and F.H. Varley. Direct Evidence: Bright colours, wide range of colour temperature, hyper-saturated. The painting is not overly-realistic Indirect Evidence: The bright colours are the signature sign of a painting by a member of The Group of Seven. The bright colours and their extremely eye-catching aesthetic was revolutionary and the dictating feature of Canadian visual arts at the time. The Group of Seven influenced Canadian Art so much that some even called it the largest defining movement of art in Canada. The saturated, beautiful colour scheme was a refreshing change to art previously made in Canada which used to be less saturated, and have very very strong influences from European art styles. Earlier in the 19th century, Canadian art, amongst most other European art, was meant to imitate real life. They tried to focus on making things look as realistic or as life-like as possible. However, the influence of The Group of Seven amongst several other artists, Canadian art grew to be more and more unique, or even imaginative. The vibrancy seen in this painting can be found nowadays in multiple different pieces, but a large portion of the inspiration can be traced back to this group of artists and paintings like these. The Canadian artist group’s work is amongst some of the world’s best and have been sold for the price tag of over $1,000,000. The photos, and the large difference between them goes to show how much Canadian art evolved over time, how different the art styles were, the growth of expressionism in the 1920s, the need and use of art as a form of communication and even therapy. The art portrays landscapes in Canada as heavenly, bright, vibrant, and full of life. The Group of Seven went on to give many people a sense of Canadian Identity in the 1920s as nationalism was important to the people in Canada and a beautiful viewpoint of the country through the scope of seven artists.

during the 1920s and the good times, people had easy access to readily available money, which meant even the middle class could afford some of the modern technological luxuries of the time. The radio became the main entertainment source of the 1920s, and cars, getting more advanced, safe, reliable and moreover, cheaper, meant that people could travel like never before. just like traveling, even sending messages over long distances was a difficult, expensive and time consuming process. however, Sir Alexander Bell's telephone, the model that laid the foundation for modern day smartphones and landlines, made communication over long distances easy. These inventions were not only significant in the 1920s, but also went down the history line to change completely the way people lived. Cars have completely modernized to add a new dimension to lifestyle. Radio has evolved into modern, well structured radio station which adds to the way people look at entertainment. Telephones were the blueprint for modern day smartphones and communication devices, something modern generations cannot live without. unfortunately, the Great Depression followed by World War 2 did not allow these innovations to take full flight in the 1920's itself. however, post ww2, these innovations chnaged the way people lived forever.

the telephone invented by sir Alexander Bell made long distance communication very easy.

for middle class families in Canada, the radio became an affordable and convenient means of entertainment. The Rogers company who produced radio services were also successful in battling the Great Depression and are today one of Canada's biggest Service providers

the cars in the 1920s including this Ford Model T mean that traveling long distances became much easier. Companies such as Ford and General Motors went on to become huge manufacturers of the automobile industry. they fought the Great Depression and today are well reputed car manufacturers.

Relating “How art and media was changed in the 1920s, and how it affected Canada in the long run?”, to “How was Canada the same or different in WWI?” Art and expressionism were a lot more common back then due to the good times, and wealth allowed people to live life more in the fun way Canadian Identity was built and clarified a lot by the new modes of expressionism, art forms, art styles, and how they might have tied into the patriotism and nationalism Canadians may have felt towards the nation due to the good times Visual art was made unique and developed a flair, instead of following British and other European art styles Technology allowed different means of delivering the art and messages Changes in social standards allowed women and Canadians in general to flourish on the world stage
