Now, thanks to a technology grant in a Bronx school we have taken our puppets into a new dimension. This technology includes stop-motion animation, claymation and film which enable us to bring stories to life in a new way. Students will go beyond the simple use of computer tools into a whole new world of ideas and thinking-outside the computer screen! You can plan a teacher workshop at Brooklyn College or at your school. We will be hosting a three-day conference in January of 2011 on ways to connect the new Core Curriculum to technology and the arts. Further details will be posted on our website at the start of<br />the school year.<br /><br /> Please let us know about your technology projects and feel free to visit our Brooklyn College site (0712 James Hall) or the PiP Museum in Marine Park. <br /> <br /> Tova<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4290923964490005677-4323263824528565140?l=puppetryinpractice.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Puppetry in Practicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13806844952100008913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290923964490005677.post-63098213842882804672010-07-27T09:48:00.000-07:002010-07-27T10:17:24.562-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NYQc8olGGX0/TE8RFzEQu8I/AAAAAAAABXs/bTqnShW0Ynw/s1600/DSC02755-1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NYQc8olGGX0/TE8RFzEQu8I/AAAAAAAABXs/bTqnShW0Ynw/s400/DSC02755-1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498632461347765186" /></a><br />This is a photo of PIP's brand new "Flip's Playhouse" (with not-so-brand-new me standing behind). It was created by PIP's resident genius/artist, Xun Ye. The Playhouse is part of our new Anger Management, Anti-Bullying program. Each Playhouse comes with a wonderful Crunch the Dinosaur puppet (also created by Xun). When you open the Playhouse, it becomes a 3-D play space for your puppet, complete with furniture. Students (and adults) can have fun creating their own stories. Flip's Playhouse complements our popular "Flip's Neighborhood" puppet set, which includes table-top puppets of Flip, his family and friends.
