This is the first time such an exhibition has been held with the aim of promoting creativeness in preserving traditional values among Vietnamese ethnic groups.

Year List SASKATCHEWAN INDIAN MAY 1980 v10 n05 p23 Interest in crafts, folk art, and ethnic culture is on the increase, not only among the Indian people seeking their "roots'.', but among the other ethnic groups of Saskatchewan. A number of artists are crossing cultural barriers to evolve a new art form, while others stick to traditional practices. With the rediscovery of the "lost arts", a number of fine craftspeople have developed in the province. Their stories, along with photographs appear in a recent Saskatchewan Government publication entitled SASKATCHEWAN CRAFTSPEOPLE. Featured in the book are potters, woodcarvers, and even a wheelwright. Three of the craftspeople also featured are Saskatchewan Indians working with traditional materials to produce functional, creative and ceremonial artifacts. Featured in this edition of the Saskatchewan Indian are their stories, and some of the many photos which appear in SASKATCHEWAN CRAFTSPEOPLE.

Extractions: (excerpt from Multigrade and Bilingual Classes in VietNam , Ministry of Education and Training, VietNam, and UNICEF VietNam, Hanoi, VietNam, 1998.) HANOI In the National Primary Curriculum, there is a 10-15% window to teach local topics across all subjects. However, so far not much attention has been paid to this issue by either the provincial education services or district education services. This needs to be reconsidered soon. It makes the curriculum more comprehensive and relevant. If local topics are taught as primary schools, it will make the schools closer to the communities, serving the socio-economic development of the locality. In ethnic minority areas, local topics will contribute to the maintenance and development of traditional culture and lifestyle of ethnic minority groups and to unite all ethnic minority groups.

Extractions: Classic Film and Television Home Page This article discusses some of the top costume designers in film and television. All are contemporary workers. They represent only a fraction of current professionals in this field; they have been chosen for their originality and creativity. There are numerous links to other costume web sites at the huge University of Alaska Fairbanks Costume Site . It has links to professional organizations, conventions, pages of current designers. A very good book on older costume designers of classic Hollywood is Elizabeth Leese, Costume Design in the Movies James Acheson James Acheson started out with various Monty Python movies, and Brazil directed by Python alumni Terry Gilliam. (The Python TV series was done by Hazel Pethig.) In recent years he has costumed Bernardo Bertolucci's spectacles, including The Last Emperor, The Sheltering Sky, and Little Buddha. He has also done richly decadent looking costumes for such powdered wig era dramas as Restoration and Dangerous Liaisons. Rich use of color: bright reds in Restoration, orange in Bertolucci films. His work is oddly complementary in time and place to Beavan and Bright, either being set in a much earlier era than theirs (such as the 17th-18th Century) or in locations they have never visited (North Africa, China, Nepal). His work is with an edge, off-center, engulfing. Coleen Atwood Films set in the recent past (1950's - 1960's). Clothes have a humorous, tongue in cheek quality: look at those strange clothes people wore back then! Still very splashy and fun. Likes bright colors, humorously over-bright, in fact. Captures look of suburbia, middle class dreams of splendor, at once glamorous and hopelessly middle brow: see the rock clothes of That Thing You Do, evening wear in Ed Woods. Works extensively with Jonathan Demme (Married to the Mob, Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, That Thing You Do!) and Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Ed Woods, Mars Attacks!). Older era historical films: Wyatt Earp, Little Women. Also: Love Field, Born Yesterday.
Macedonian Traditional Folk Costumes Macedonian traditional folk costumes resplendent example of the They convey the skill and inventiveness of native designers Macedonian women, http://macedoniadirect.com/costumes1.htm
Extractions: of the creative spirit of the Macedonian people The traditional folk costumes embrace traits of the various cultures represented in this part of the Balkan. They convey the skill and inventiveness of native designers - Macedonian women, who manufactured themselves their outfits of homespun thread (usually wool, linen, cotton, hemp), using traditional tools. Until the early decades of the 20th century, when folk costumes reached their peak and were still widely worn and adorned, there were over 70 different kinds of richly decorated costumes on the territory of Macedonia. Every region had its distinctive attire, which differed from the clothing of the adjacent region in its stylistic, aesthetic and functional features. The reason for the appearance of so many different costumes, particularly for women, is the geographic isolation of the ethic areas, as well as frequent migrations and ethnic diversity of the population. The features that make traditional costumes magnificent are the embroidery (in rich geometric and geometricized floral patterns), appliqués, woven ornaments, adornment with fringes, fine metal thread - srma, and braids, as well as jewelry, made of metal, beads and fruits of the nature.
