 Creativity Express - Let's Start with Art! $15.99 I am an educator myself, but purchased Creativity Express for my 7-year old son. I thought it might be a little too advanced for him, but it wasn't. He absolutetly loves it! The program not only engages him, but me also. I have to admit that I have sat with him on many occasions to view the lessons together and have been thoroughly entertained and educated! The program uses great and engaging animated characters to present lessons on art--history, methods, techniques, etc. The lessons utilize real-life examples of art to illustrate the principles it teaches. It includes great activities and games that are fun for my son and reinforce the concepts learned. My son has even commented to me, "Mom, this is awesome! It's like a video game where I learn things." And, it has been fun to see him apply the principles he has learned from the program in other areas of our life. ("Mom, this is just like the art game when they talk about using the same colors. . . ") I can't say enough good about this program. I have recommended it to my son's elementary school and others, and would truly recommend it for anyone--any age.  Breaking Chains: Dismantling Racism in Higher Education - Academic Version w/ PPR $289.95 Breaking Chains focuses on the development and organization of a group of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members at Macalester College (St. Paul, Minnesota) who are attempting to undo racism on an institutional level. The film incorporates engaging interviews with group members and national activists/organizers, insightful personal video diary entries of workshop participants, and images from the workshops to convey the importance and difficulty of the work this group does. Viewers meet and begin to identify with members of the group who discuss their personal experiences with racism and the transformations they undergo at the workshops. Many viewers will find this film helps spark discussions about racism, prejudice, race relations, whiteness, institutional racism, and community organizing.  Back to Higher Ground $13.98 This cd is pretty good. It has some good songs. I suggest some of the briggs' earlier cds first though. |
