Charles Hepburn Scott

[2] After the outbreak of World War I, Scott enlisted in the Canadian Force, serving overseas from 1915 to 1918.

As part of this group, Scott helped to lobby for the establishment of an art school and gallery in Vancouver, neither of which existed in the city prior to that time.

Scott's significant contribution to Vancounver's culture was not limited to the school: in 1931, he joined Henry A.

Stone, one of the founders of the as yet unopened Vancouver Art Gallery on a trip which Scott saw as a "dream come true".

It was during this time that the artist painted Alfresco (1933), Portrait of Melvin, and Morning Tea, each of help to document his family's life in Vancouver.

The modern campus of the Emily Carr University of Art and Design , once the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Art, in 2010.
