4.0 out of 5 stars Who Am I? Who Are You?, November 26, 2008
This review is from: Working Title (Institutional Use - K-12/Public Libraries) (DVD)
I am equal to my job title. But how do I define myself if I have no job title, no office, no employer?

This may seem like an adult concern, but it's never too early for young people to begin evaluating questions regarding profession and identity. "Working Title" offers an opportunity for educators to prompt discussions with their students about, among other things, the nature of aspiration and self-definition.

The old cliche is that children want to grow up to be firemen or doctors or nurses. It's time for a new conception of professional possibilities--one that includes artists. Educators will find that "Working Title" can be used with students of varying grade levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Working TItle Inspires Art Students, July 6, 2008

Paula J. Birnbaum (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Working Title (Institutional Use - Colleges/Universities) (DVD)
Working Title offers insight and inspiration to students of all ages who aspire to follow the courageous path to professional careers in the arts. By offering a rare and honest glimpse into the daily lives of five diverse visual and performing artists, the film asks important questions, from the practical (how do you support yourself as a professional artist?), to the personal (how might this career choice affect your personal relationships and other life choices?) to the philosophical (how do you know you are an artist, and how do you make peace with that knowledge and come to embrace it as central to your identity?). This film is a "must-have" for arts educators, and it gave the undergraduate students at my university new-found confidence to nurture and celebrate their artistic aspirations. Paula Birnbaum, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Art + Architecture, University of San Francisco.
