ArtsPartners is designed to make classrooms and community sites more creative and effective by giving students and participants opportunities to bring learning to life through the arts. At the heart of the program is the ArtsWestchester’s Artist Roster. The Roster is a directory of teaching artists who are eligible to conduct residencies in schools and community sites through ArtsWestchester grants. This array of accomplished teaching artists - actors, dancers, writers, visual artists, and more - are trained to use the arts as an instructional tool. Students and participants learn in and through the art-making process in a sequential series of participatory, creative residency sessions led by these teaching artists and classroom teachers. ArtsPartners is your springboard to deepening knowledge of the curricula, exceeding classroom goals, addressing New York State learning standards, as well as building new-found self-confidence in creative, social, and behavioral abilities.

Please conserve paper by printing only the pages you need, and print on both sides of the paper whenever possible! ARTSWESTCHESTER I ArtsPartners Page iii Dear Friends of the Arts: Welcome to ArtsWestchester’s new digital ArtsPartners Handbooks, a reference series designed to help you locate the teaching artists, cultural resources and information you need to develop artist residencies for your school or organization. ArtsWestchester roster offers everything from drama to African dance, calligraphy, felt making, film making, computer graphics and much more. The artists profiled in the Artist Roster have been vetted for artistic teaching competency, with a track record of bringing learning to life through the arts and collaborative skills leading to curriculum integration in the classroom. Increasingly, research is validating the important role the arts play in learning and human development. Involvement in the arts fosters the growth of key cognitive skills. Today’s knowledge- based economy requires workers who can think creatively, solve problems, exercise individual judgment, solve problems and interact effectively with others. Sociability and high self esteem are key components of these abilities. These workforce skills are nurtured through an education in the arts. Through ArtsWestchester you can access the tools and assistance you need to integrate the arts into your programs, enriching the learning experience. If you are not already a member, we invite you to join now. For more information, please contact the Education Programs Department at 914-428 4220 x236 or email [email protected]. Sincerely, Janet T. Langsam Executive Director ArtsWestchester Page iv ARTSWESTCHESTER I ArtsPartners Dear Friends: I am pleased to partner with ArtsWestchester to bring you the digital ArtsPartners Handbook Series. In addition to being an important engine of economic development, the arts are a fundamental resource for our schools and communities. Bringing an artist into the classroom or community center breathes life into learning. Exposing students and citizens to Westchester’s abundance of world class cultural institutions introduces them to new worlds of creativity and possibility. ArtsWestchester offers a special opportunity to schools and community sites to deepen the learning experience through hands-on art residencies in which students become active participants rather than observers, producing opportunities for knowledge, understanding and skill development unmatched by purely theoretical classroom exercises. As the County Executive of Westchester, I am proud of our artists and artistic institutions who through the arts, educate, entertain, and inspire each of us. ArtsWestchester has done a wonderful job in assembling the Arts Partners Series and I hope you will consider making use of these important cultural resources in your classrooms and programs. Sincerely, Andrew J. Spano Westchester County Executive ARTSWESTCHESTER I ArtsPartners Page v THE ARTIST ROSTER A Directory of Professional Teaching Artists in Westchester This directory contains contact and biographical information on more than 100 teaching artists who have passed ArtsWestchester’s rigorous screening process. Each has proven his or her artistic and teaching competency in the classroom and community sites, and has a strong record of bringing learning to life through art.

  • An Analysis of the Circumstances and Factors That Have Influenced the Development of Animation Industry in Iran in the 1960-2002 Periods Naser Golmohammadi
    Environment Conservation Journal 16 (SE ) 61-77, 2015 ISSN 0972-3099 (Print) 2278-5124 (Online) Abstracted and Indexed An analysis of the circumstances and factors that have influenced the development of Animation Industry in Iran in the 1960-2002 periods Naser Golmohammadi Received:25.05.2015 Revised:26.06.2015 Accepted:28.08.2015 Abstract In the early part of 20th century animation emerged as a revolutionary way of making art. It evolved into a powerful means of expression and creativity of artists who could merge all art genres into one art form. The subsequent developments of animation have opened its diverse uses in entertainment business, education and political propaganda. This article attempts to examine the factors that have influenced and shaped the development of animation industry in Iran. It takes a historical view and investigates the impacts of changing socio-economic and political forces that have determined the functions of animation in the Iranian society. The study traces the establishment of the industry to the government-run centres, describing the pioneering role of artists who gave rise to the ‘golden age’ of animation in the pre-revolutionary Iran. Especial attention is throughout paid to the long and rich cultural and artistic heritages, as the thematic basis for indigenously produced animated films in Iran. The growth of the industry is considered in conjuncture with the expansion of feature films cinema and expansion of television networks. The latter is particularly important for the fact that it provides a secured market for a sizeable audience of children and young people in Iran.

  • 2017 ASIFA-IAD Report
    ASIFA International Animation Day Report 2017 1 ASIFA International Animation Day Report 2017 2 ASIFA INTERNATIONAL ANIMATION DAY 2017 Photos: ASIFA Poland, ASIFA China, and ASIFA Croatia ASIFA created the International Animation Day (IAD) in 2002 to honor the birth of animation. October 28th was chosen in recognition of the first public performance of projected moving images: Emile Reynaud’s Theatre Optique in Paris, in 1892. ASIFA coordinates and helps promote IAD celebrations all over the world, putting the art of animation in the limelight in a global worldwide celebration of animation. IAD offers us the opportunity to connect with animators and share animation across borders, across cultures, across languages - to celebrate our humanity through the art of animation. ASIFA International Animation Day Report 2017 3 INTRODUCTION: Interim Coordinator R. Brad Yarhouse I am honored and excited that I have been asked by the Deanna Morse and the board to act as interim International Animation Day coordinator for the international ASIFA organization. I want to give my thanks to Vanessa Ventura of ASIFA Portugal for many years of service as the previous coordinator of IAD. I would also like to thank Noureddin Zarrinkelk and Negar Zarrinkelk for their wonderful poster for 2017. I have been coordinating IAD for the Central USA chapter since 2012 and was recently made President of ASIFA Central. My goal as coordinator for the central chapter has always been two fold, first to provide an opportunity for members of ASIFA Central to participate in celebrating the animation artform by showing their current animation. A ‘snapshot’ of the artists, vision, and the talent that makes up our region of the world.
