Museum Programs.
Gaffney, Maureen, Ed.
Young Viewers Magazine, v3 n1 Spr 1980
Designed for media specialists and educators, this issue includes five articles exploring the contributions of children's films to museum programs. Following a brief editorial encouraging the use of films in museums, the first article outlines a picture storybook model for evaluating children's films. Several storybook models are identified, and a sample evaluation is offered. The second article describes a study in which four groups of Hispanic children aged 3 to 12 were surveyed to evaluate quality, interest level, and problems of films targeted for this ethnic group. The third article outlines the development of a "discovery tour" program which uses films and activities to stimulate children's interest in museum art collections. The fourth article reviews a 3-day workshop on programming children's films in museums. A list of films is included. The final article describes a family film festival sponsored by a 1979 conference of the Media Center for Children. Films included in the 4 hour screening of animations, documentaries, and extraordinary stories are reviewed. (LP)
