The Workshop

Brainstorming
The workshops consists of brainstorming with the class on various Jewish and Israeli themes. We will pick three of the best ideas and the class will produce these three videos with the help of the visiting Artist. Students will have various jobs from story-board artists, to make-up and location designers as well as acting out the scenes of their video productions. Each student will receive an edited DVD of all three videos.

Topics
We have a list of twelve topics to choose from. Students may discuss these ideas with their teacher before the Artist arrives.
