This CD ROM explores the uses of
etchings and drawings in an animated form
to communicate the artist's thoughts and feelings
about the human condition. I recommend the use of
this CD ROM by high school-aged children
and teachers of younger-aged students who
wish to understand the methods and techniques of
creating a multi-media portfolio. This artist
work is an excellent exemplar of how the art
standard 9.1j can be met. He has mastered
the use of traditional and contemporary
technologies to produce works of art that become
alive. The implications are that
the social and human issues can be creatively and
effectively expressed through the use of
art. Art in combination with the new
technologies increases the students awareness and
opens lines of communication for discussion about
these issues..

I would recommend seeing
Jim Reinhard's Production, "The Allegheny
River Project". In this project K-12
students produced multi-media presentations which
tell about the Allegheny river and its historical, social and environmental implications.
