Art Enrichment with Mrs. Kraemer
Mrs. Kraemer is offering four different art enrichment opportunities after school this Winter on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The theme of all four enrichments will be the wide range of puppetry forms: shadow, hand and rod, string (marionette), and bunraku (very large and intricately controlled). All of our puppets will be very large. Each participant will build at least one type of puppets some students may build several puppets.
The puppetry enrichments will culminate with a "Puppetry Happening" in the LAF gym from 6:00 - 7:00 pm on June 11. 2019.
