HOW YOUNG AMERICA PAINTS

This is a film record of the 1941 exhibition of Young America Paints, held annually at the American museum of natural history, New York. Film records of the exhibits for the years 1939 and 1940 are available under title "Young America paints" (listed below). Screens full of paintings as we learn that 120 pictures were shown, an excellent cross section of young America's work. Naturally all of them could not be included in the film and the pictures shown were chosen for photographic color value or to explain the use of a particular medium. Finger painting is demonstrated, and Ruth Shaw, author and lecturer on educational psychology who introduced finger painting into this country is seen at work.
