Arctic Hip Hop
Capitalizing on the popularity of hip hop, social worker and long-time B-boy Stephen Leafloor has been bringing positive hip hop workshops to the north, this time to the remote hamlet of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. While dancing to the beat, kids are encouraged to blend their rich, ancient culture with a modern one. Between back spins and body-waves, they discuss bullying, body image, single parenting, drugs, alcohol, anger and suicide. Because of the healing power of dance, five days later they emerge not only better dancers, but more confident kids who have a clearer idea of how to balance their cultural identity with modern times.
In addition to supporting the Dance strand in the Arts Education curricula, this video could be used in Wellness 10 when discussing the impact of mental health on the wellbeing of self, family and community.
This is a particularly valuable resource for teachers who are working with at-risk students.

Advertising Layout II: Visual Directions
This program builds understanding of how elements of art and principles of design are applied to the creation of magazine advertisements and posters. The program shows students how to attract a viewer's attention with the layout concepts commonly known as picture window, silhouette, square zero, Mondrian style, closure, oversizing, juxtaposition, surrealism and shock. Examples show how graphic designers direct attention within an ad by using various compositional techniques such as diagonal, standard, "C," "Z," overlapping and spatial progression. The video concludes with a section on the importance and practical use of headlines and sub-headlines. Teachers may wish to show the video in shorter segments as students discuss and/or experiment with specific compositional techniques.

Advertising Layout I: Space Allocations
This program builds understanding of elements of art and principles of design as applied to the creation of magazine advertisements and posters. Examples demonstrate effective and ineffective advertising layout by addressing recommended space allocation for the illustration, headline, copy and logo and whether to use a photograph or original art for the illustration. In addition, the program covers headline issues such as overprinting, reverse type and typefaces and shows examples of the optical centre, symmetrical and asymmetrical balance and the Kodak "rule of thirds." The layout techniques of vertical half, horizontal half, corner half, white space, bleed and borders are also discussed. The program may be viewed in shorter sections as students examine and experiment with specific design or composition techniques.
