{valuation of new films by L. C. LARSON Director, Audio-Visual Center Indiana University CAROLYN GUSS Anociate Professor, School of Education Indiana University ART AND YOU (Film Associates of California, 10521 Santa Monica Boulevard, Los Angeles 25, California) 10 minutes, 16mm, sound, color or black and white, 1958. $100 or $50. Produced by Stuart Roe. Teacher's guide available. Description Art and You uses narration, visuals of art objects, and examples of reallife situations to contrast the ways in which art expresses individual feelings and thoughts about the world of people and nature. A montage of statues, paintings, sketches, and other art objects introduces the world of art to the viewer and the narration explains how art begins and what it is. The beginning of art experiences is illustrated as starting with birth and growing gradually as a person's frame of reference is enlarged. Small children are pictured being initiated into early stages of self-ex From the Film Associates production, "Art and You." pression in an through the use of water colors, clay, and other materials. Familiar sights to most children are shown and these daily activities are presented with their counterparts as found in existing art. Such common subjects as a quiet village street, a lonely child, a babbling brook, a field of flowers, a gloomy day, or a festive celebration are seen as they appear in reality, and then as themes interpreted by such artists as Van Gogh, Monet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Manet, Cezanne, El Greco, Bellows, and others. The latter section of the film attempts to explain the differences in art styles by comparing a realistic painting with the symbolic representation of the same subject.

Since 1892 — Producers of Superior Visual Aids. KEYSTONE Overhead Projector points out that there are many stylesi and that one artist creates what he sees whereas another paints what he feels, while yet another might even achieve; a combination of the two. A portraiti artist sketches a female model as she appears when interpreted by two divergent styles of art. The camera returns to the classroom where children are working with water color and clay. Over a concluding montage of well-known art objects, the narrator reminds the viewer thati "Whatever the style you choose, the art that you create tells others how you think and feel, and what you see of the many faces of the world of people and the many faces of the world of nature." Appraisal The evaluating committee feels that Art and You will be of value to junior and senior high school art appreciation classes. The vocabulary level and the self-identification of the viewer with elementary children shown in the film make a strong bid for its use on the intermediate level, however, the majority of the committee felt that the over-all concepts of the film would be lost on an audience of that age. .^dult and college groups will find much of interest in this film if they desire a simple introduction to art. Anyone interested in art will find it a challenging experience attempting to identity the many well-known yet unnamed works of art. The creative use of montage and tlie blending of scenes of reality with those interpreted by the artist add a quality to the film which 1 is heightened by excellent photography. — O. E. Bissmeyer.
