Dreams Come True
Education Resource Kit
Explore the inspiration, production and cultural legacy of Disney's classic fairy tales, as presented in the Dreams Come True exhibition.
Fairy tales have been used for centuries to instil values and codes of conduct in children, and many of these have been quite frightening. Walt Disney departed from his peers to create moral tales that use the beauty and artistry of animation. This resource is designed as an introduction to the basic elements of story structure, fairy tales, character archetypes and animation techniques.
This kit has been developed to support the curriculum areas of English and The Arts in Australia, with particular relevance to the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS).
This resource features:
- a guide to screen literacy
- an exploration of stories and storytelling
- a biography of Walt Disney
- a discussion on characterisation
- an introduction to Disney's animation process
- a guide to the exhibition.
