How can audiovisual media foster meaningful educational engagement?
Drawing on the ideas of Paulo Freire and Marshall McLuhan, this hybrid session will highlight connections between critical pedagogy, media ecology, and media education with particular focus on rotoscope animation as a practical educational methodology.
Rotoscoping is an animation technique where artists trace over live-action video footage, frame by frame, to produce highly realistic and fluid movement. Variations of this method can be seen in Hollywood movies like A Scanner Darkly (2006), and the 1964 classic, Mary Poppins.
The session is intended for educators, researchers, and practitioners interested in media education, critical pedagogy, edu-communication, and creative approaches to teaching and learning.
Presenter: Dr. Vanessa Martins (UEMG/Brazil) in partnership with the Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education at the University of Toronto.
