As an accompaniment to the four public lectures on "The Art of Walt Disney" to be given by Robin Feild '30, assistant professor of Fine Arts, an exhibit of sketches, models, color diagrams, and finished celluloid transparencies illustrating the technical processes of the animated cartoon are now on view at the Fogg Museum.

"Story" is the title of the first Disney lecture, which will be given at the Fogg at 4:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Others, scheduled for succeeding Thursdays, will be entitled "Lay-out," "Animation," and "The Screen." All will be free and open to the public.

Material from Disney Studies

Feild, the termination of whose appointment by the Fine Arts Department recently raised a storm of protest, gathered the material for the exhibit while he was studying at the Disney Studies last summer.

The display of "workshop material" is arranged to emphasize the continuity and development of ideas leading up to the filming of a Disney feature. Beginning with rough sketches of story ideas, the exhibit traces the growth of a film through more elaborate character development and various sketch-experiments in background design fixing the mood of the production.

Among the familiar Disney characters figuring in the exhibit are Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Ferdinand the Bull, Snow White, and the Seven Dwaris.

Of the preparatory work for "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," there are exhibited preliminary original sketches of animal characters and tentative visual outlines of humorous sequences; elaborate scale drawings of the various characters, including complete details; and a series of finished celluloid transparencies.

A scene of Mickey and Minnie Mouse riding on a merry-go-round is used to illustrate the method of superimposing five celluloid layers, each containing a separate portion of the final picture.
