Content areas include media and techniques, history and culture, criticism and appreciation, and design. Four core units present fundamental art knowledge through themes based on self and environmental exploration. Media and techniques used include drawing, collage, sculpture and ceramics. Four secondary units are enrichment oriented. Maskmaking expands on self-exploration by examining different faces humans present to establish identity and communication. Mass media introduces students to concepts of advertisement communication. Differences between need and want are explored. Landscape is studied as interpretations of environment as seen, remembered, or imagined. Investigation of the future allows for exploration of various scenarios with a wide variety of materials. The teaching method employed is problem solving/inquiry. Idea journals and portfolios are identified and used as evaluation tools. Appendices and bibliographies are included.

    Animerte perler - Animasjonsklassikere fra National Film Board of Canada [DVD] Animerte perler - Animasjonsklassikere fra National Film Board of Canada [DVD] Animerte perler samler 14 animerte kortfilmer produsert av National Film Board of Canada i tidsrommet 1949-1993. Utgivelsen er en tidløs animert fest! Animerte perler Diverse regissører National Film Board of Canada 1949-1993 Norsk filminstitutt 4:3 Fullskjerm Dolby 2.0 131 min. 2 6 Blame Canada Det er ikke mulig å overdrive hvilken rolle National Film Board of Canada (NFB) har spilt i å utvikle en alternativ rute for animasjonsfilmskapere som ønsker å skape et kunstuttrykk på siden av Disney og de andre dominerende amerikanske studioene. Etter etableringen på slutten av 1930-tallet har NFB produsert mer enn 13.000 dokumentarfilmer, animerte og live-action kortfilmer og tatt med Oscar-statuetten hvem til Canada 12 ganger, inkludert en æresoscar i 1988. Da Norman McLaren ble ansatt ved NFB i 1941 startet også animasjonsproduksjonen og som følge av McLarens pionerarbeid, økte anseelsen til NFB, og særlig animasjonsdivisjonen, betraktelig. Med utgivelsen av Animerte perler har Norsk filminstitutt samlet 14 animerte kortfilmer produsert av NFB i tidsrommet 1949-1993, og viser med dette hvilken sterk posisjon NFB har innen internasjonal animasjon og hvordan de har jobbet målrettet og metodisk over lang tid for å bli en ledende produsent av den frie, kunstneriske animerte kortfilmen. Første del av utgivelsen er naturlig nok viet Norman McLaren - banebrytende dokumentarist og animasjonsfilmskaper, som ikke bare har skapt en rekke fabelaktige produksjoner, men langt på vei satt standarden for filmproduksjonen hos National Film Board of Canada.

Characterized as mixed media artefacts, animation cels fall somewhere between illustrative art and motion picture film, which partially accounts for the lack of defined guidelines. Studies researching the conservation of animation cels, such as the one conducted by the Getty Conservation Institute in collaboration with the Disney Animation Research Library are so recent that, to date, no conclusive findings have been established. This practical report focuses on the organization, conservation, and storage of the Nelvana Animation Collection housed at Media Commons, University of Toronto Libraries.
