Students will also learn how to establish major forms, refine lines for increased accuracy, block in broad shadow areas, and finish the work by polishing contours, strengthening shadows, and adding details. Some 170 illustrations covering a variety of pencil, chalk, and charcoal techniques not only present every drawing operation in precise detail but also reveal how to develop form, light, and shade by combining lines, strokes, and blended tones. Beginners will appreciate this volume's clear instructions, practical advice, and detailed illustrations, while more experienced artists will find it an excellent review of the basics and a source of valuable insights.

Film Literacy im Englischunterricht: Eine Mixed Methods-Studie zur Erhebung der Kompetenzen von Lernenden der Sekundarstufe I (Literatur-, Kultur- und Sprachvermittlung: LiKuS)
by Jan-Erik LeonhardtFilme sind zu einem wichtigen Bestandteil des Fremdsprachenunterrichts geworden, jedoch erfolgte der Einsatz von Filmen bislang auf Basis eines empirisch wenig fundierten Forschungsfeldes. In diesem Buch untersucht Jan-Erik Leonhardt die Frage, welche Teilkompetenzniveaus von Film Literacy, also der Fähigkeit zu einem kritischen und selbstbestimmten Umgang mit Filmen, Lernende der Jahrgangsstufen 6, 8 und 10 in der Fremdsprache Englisch erreichen. Die Studie ist nach einem Mixed Methods-Design aufgebaut, bei welchem die Ergebnisse eines Fragebogens (n=771) und eines Kompetenztest (n=626) durch die Ergebnisse von Gruppeninterviews (n=36) validiert, ergänzt und erweitert werden. Die zentralen Ergebnisse der Arbeit umfassen eine datenbasierte Neumodellierung des Konstrukts Film Literacy. Auf Basis der Erhebung werden differenzierte Aussagen über die Film Literacy der Lernenden getroffen und Prädiktoren identifiziert, welche ihre Film Literacy voraussagen. Anhand der Studienergebnisse leitet der Autor abschließend evidenzbasierte Prinzipien für die Planung und Durchführung filmbasierten Fremdsprachenunterrichts ab.

Film as a Radical Pedagogic Tool (Routledge Studies in Education, Neoliberalism, and Marxism #15)
by Deirdre O'NeillEmerging from Inside Film, a project that helps prisoners and people on probation make their own films, this book discusses the need for working class people to represent themselves and challenge mainstream stereotypes and assumptions about them. This project gave prisoners and parolees the technical skills necessary to make their own films and tell their own stories in order to counter the ways they have been misrepresented. The author demonstrates that film and television are key means by which socioeconomically marginalized groups are classified according to hegemonic norms, as well as the ways such groups can undermine these misrepresentations through their use of the media. As a theoretical reflection on the Inside Film project and the relationship between filmmaking and education, this book explores what radical pedagogy looks like in action.
