For them, she stressed the more ad– ministrative aspects of the Canadian school system (and specifically Ontario, as education is a provincial responsibi– lity in Canada): the different jurisdic– tions of the Ministry of Education and the local school boards, how program planning is done by teachers, what kind of directives and guidelines are pro– vided by the ministry, how textbooks are published and, in general, how a classroom functions. She showed slides of the St. Sophia school in Mississauga — an open-concept school. in Lviv she also spoke at the Lviv institute of Teacher Upgrading to an audience of about 450 teachers, lec– turers and interested persons. The large audience underlines the interest among educators in Ukraine in school systems abroad.

THE ART SCENE Current poster art is on display at Ukrainian Museum NEW YORK - Contemporary poster art of Ukraine is on view at The Ukrainian Museum through October 14. On display are posters primarily from the city of Lviv, many with accompanying catalogues. There are numerous posters announcing museum exhibitions, new productions of the Lviv Youth Theater, many advertising organizations or groups, and others proclaiming various events. The 1960s saw the revival of poster art in Ukraine. The artistic tradition had died in the early 1930s in eastern Ukraine and suffered a similar fate in western Ukraine when that part of the country was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1939. The period between 1934 and 1969 was marked by a significant deterioration of pictorial art and the triumph of socialist realism. This period is also noted for the complete destruc– tion of various organized movements within the Ukrainian arts. On the basis of resolutions of the "Green World," 1990, by O. Lekontsev, O.

The film, based on the Ukrainian novel by Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky, was rarely shown in the Soviet Union, but won no less than 16 international film awards and today is considered a modern cinema classic, in "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors," Mr. Paradjanov accented folklore and national culture, stressing image and metaphor and fantasy. After the release of this film, Mr. Paradjanov began signing protests on behalf of Ukrainian nationalists and found it difficult to make any more movies. This was also due to the fact that all six of his films to date jvere in Ukrainian rather than Russian. For many years Mr. Paradjanov lived in Ukraine and sent his son to a Ukrai– nian school. He was able to work again in 1969, filming "The Color of Pomegranates," which dealt with the great massacre of Armenians by the Turks. The film was instantly banned.
