[Frameworks] Experimental Media for Middle and High School Students

[melissaparson at comcast.net]

There are lots of films you can show- I don't have specific suggestions there but one activity I did with kindergartners years back  was bleaching out old super 8 ( i did that part )  and let  them color on it with markers, it's a tangible way for them to see 24 frames per second and exciting each and everytime you project it.... just a thought for an introduction to experimental film. obviously you can show some kid appropriate brakhage and harry smith as a lead in....

Hi Frameworkers, 

     I am teaching video production to Middle and High School (Ages 
11-21) at risk inner city students through the city parks.  Each park 
location has a specific emphasis and I am being encouraged to teach 
experimental video production.  I am currently developing a curriculum 
for them and I would appreciate any suggestions of age appropriate 
projects or film/videos to get them to think creatively. 

Thanks, 
Jonathan Capone
