14 Visual Art teachers from Friends schools came together for the Friends Council on Education's 3rd annual
Visual Arts in Friends Schools Peer Network conference at Pendle Hill, organized by upper school art teacher Randi Chalfin of Oakwood Friends.
As part of the conference, Jim Talone, (formerly of Tandem Friends School) and Andy Cohen from Brooklyn Friends School facilitated a "Digital Media Challenge" workshop.
First teachers learned how to
evaluate entries for the Bridge Film Festival. Then they were split into groups to conceive, plan, and film projects using criteria from the BFF. Teams were given a flip video camera, a Quaker testimony, the instruction to film a variety of angles including 5 POV shots and had a 60 minute time limit.
The results can be found here on the
BFF YouTube channel. Enjoy!
