Finger painting and stencilling is shown in some detail. Exhibits of work at the elementary, Junior high and senior high levels are shown — also an exhibit of miscellaneous work. Practical uses of stencilling are shown "Here is a superb color film that Is, or should be, inspirational to young children up to the junior high school. Basically a review of the fourth 'Young America paints' art exhibition, in which some of the shots are too distant to be of much footage value; some closeups are excellent. "Interspersed are views of young people using certain artistic media under the supervision of adults, and some of these should cause every youngster's hand to itch to get started. Throughout the color is excellent. Sound on our print was amateurish." J. Frederic Andrews "Sound in the print very poor. Material excellent." Collaborator AMNH YOUNG AMERICA PAINTS— 1940. lOmin 16sd-color-loan 1941 YMCA 750 el-Jh-adult This is a film record of the fifth annual exhibition of Young America Paints, held In the American museum of natural history. New York. Marie Falco, Art Director of Young America Paints is introduced. We see the Museum Screens full of paintings as we learn that 120 pictures were shown, an excellent cross section of young America's work. Naturally all of them could not be included in this film and the pictures shown were chosen for photographic color value or to explain the use of a particular medium Finger painting is demonstrated, and Ruth • Shaw, author and lecturer on education and psychology who introduced finger painting into this country is seen at work. We see one of her finished pictures and some of the things finger painting can be used to decorate are suggested To a musical accompaniment we see an elementary group of paintings. Interesting work with wax crayons is shown in enough detail and with enough explanation to permit one to go and do likewise. Panels representative of the work of junior high school students are seen. Work with dry color in compact form, applied dry with a felt tipped brush is demonstrated Then come panels which are examples of work done by senior high school studen-ts. Most of the work is impressionistic but there are numerous abstractions and many examples of textile and wall paper designs 343
