CALL FOR ART! DEADLINE 12/6/06
If you have students who would like their art showcased in an upcoming Classroom Encounters video, artwork must illustrate the science in the clips above. You can look at Dr. Hoffman's Overview of the Greenhouse Effect 1:30 Windows Media -7MB / Quicktime 9M to get an idea how we use illustrations. Just make sure students watch the clip carefully so the image fits what the scientist is saying. We will consider sketches, drawings or illustrations smaller than 8.5 x 11 inches and scanned at 300 dpi. Parents will have to grant permission and sign a form that licenses the work to Classroom Encounters. We'll offer film credits to anyone whose art is accepted.
