Phillipe Petit: Magic, Art, Science & Math
August, 1974 Man on Wire
Phillippe Petit, a French performance artist, was inspired to walk the tight rope when he saw that the Twin Towers were being built in New York City. It would take him two years, but, with a team of friends, he accomplished his beautiful dream. Perspective is everything and to see what the world thought of his walk check out how CBS news reported this feat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAVj2IVC9ko
Magic, Science, Math and Art: Creativity's Lasting Impact
Petit is now an author, speaker, magician and problem solver. An avid doodler, he is always coming up with new ideas. How can we capitalize on this inspiring story for our students? By listening, having discussions, sharing his ideas and developing our own!
