If you keep up on the art blog from the previous weeks, you would see that our 4th grade students
have been working on Japanese Rod Puppets and we wanted to give  you a little insight as to where this inspiration has came.. 
The word Bunraku,  comes from Japan and is one type of  puppet theatre. It was founded in  Osaka in 1684. Please enjoy this video of the traditional Japanese Puppet Theatre performance.

This is a video of an autistic man who was taken by helicopter over Brooklyn, New York
and was asked to draw what he remembered from the helicopter ride. Check out this video of this man's work.
It truly shows how amazing each individual is.
