Learning Through the Arts: The Children's Art Carnival 1979
An inspirational look at young people developing a variety of artistic skills: printmaking, silkscreen, animation, filmmaking, sewing and design, collage, and 3-D construction, among other disciplines. The narrator and director of the program, Betty Blayton Taylor, asserts that art is everywhere in people's lives and that an understanding of the arts motivates children in other aspects of their lives...The documentary illustrates how children, once they become curious, motivate themselves by wanting to read and communicate effectively. Because of their success, the Children's Art Carnival was cited as a model of arts education by the National Endowment for the Arts
