ABSTRACT
In the Arts course, John Dankworth's theme composed to demonstrate the various instruments was more interesting and clearer than several similar programmes I had previously watched. There were good earlier programmes on, for example, the use of primary historical materials, and on some of the elements and conventions of visual composition and recognition. An early programme on the Yorubas, offering to make a point about culture and cultures, was less successful, and like other things in this course, was not seriously followed up, at least at this stage.
