Academy's 2004 High School Teaching Kit to Focus on Animation
Wednesday January 14, 3:47 pm ET
Teaching Kits Mailed to 18,000 Schools Nationwide

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to further the
understanding and appreciation of the filmmaking crafts, the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has produced its fifth high school teaching 
kit.
The 2004 kit, which focuses on the art of animation, will be mailed this
week to 18,000 high schools throughout the United States. The program is
free to the schools and all production- and distribution-related costs are
incurred by the Academy.

The kits were produced by Youth Media International, Ltd., of Easton,
Connecticut, with direct input from animators who are members of the
Academy. "This program is one important element of the Academy's overall
efforts in support of film scholarship and literacy," said Academy Associate
Executive Administrator Mikel Gordon. "We've done four of these kits in
recent years and given the positive feedback we receive from the schools
each year we are thrilled to do it again."

The instructional guide, entitled "Creating Movement Frame by Frame," is
geared toward students in secondary school English, language arts, visual
arts and communications courses. The guide contains four activities called
"The Origins of Animation," "Drawing Movement," "Imagining Action" and
"Learning from the Best." Each activity underscores valuable lessons in
critical thinking, helps students become more visually literate and
understand the animator's contributions to the filmmaking team.

Additional information about this program and contents of this year's and
previous years teaching kits can be found on the Academy's website at
www.oscars.org/teachersguide .
