It is informed by the writings of George Steiner, who advanced a typology of difficult forms in poetry. The major works of Jack Chambers (The Hart of London), Michael Snow (La Region Centrale), and Joyce Wieland (Reason Over Passion) illustrate the ways in which a poetic vanguard in cinema is anchored in an aesthetic of difficulty.

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.

Skirball Series $9 [students $7, CalArts $5] THE BEST OF OTTAWA 2009 This selection of 12 outstanding films from the Ottawa International Animation Festival 2009, most of which are Los Angeles premieres, reflects the vitality of experimental animation today and includes work from Canada, England, Estonia, France, Germany, Poland, and the United States. Each filmmaker demonstrates a passion for telling stories, whether abstract or figurative, and the works showcase the rich possibilities of animation as personal art. Films include Eric Dyer’s mesmerizing The Bellow’s March, Diego Maclean’s haunting The Art of Drowning, and David OReilly’s sci-fi drama Please Say Something, as well as works by Jake Armstrong, Bastien Dubois, Julian Grey, Rao Heidmets, Stephen Irwin, Gary Leib, Ian Miller, Marv Newland, and Michal Socha. Two new films by American animators who continue to delight, disturb, and enlighten— Myth Labs by Martha Colburn and Presentation Theme by Jim Trainor—will also be screened. In person: Suzan Pitt, Ottawa International Animation Festival jury member “Martha Colburn’s animations charge the frame with such ferocity that it almost hurts to watch… Tacitly these unconscious imaginings give rise to strikingly clear associations, which is why the work is so illuminating—not just for its ideational and aesthetic lushness but for its approach.” – Dena Beard, Berkeley Art museum/Pacific Film Archive Program (TRT 81 min.)
