This year Central Library is excited to offer kids a new art series provided in partnership with USC Pacific Asia Museum<\/a>. Each month, representatives of USC Pacific Asia Museum come to the library to read kids a picture book about Asian culture, and then guide children in an art project that is directly inspired by the artwork in that book.<\/p>\n

In January, we learned about Chinese culture and read Red is a Dragon<\/a><\/em> by Roseanne Thong and illustrated by Grace Lin:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And the project was inspired by the beautiful dragon on the cover–a dragon puppet!<\/p>\n

In February, we learned about Cambodia and read The Cambodian Dancer: Sophany’s Gift of Hope<\/a><\/em> by Daryn Reicherter and illustrated by Christy Hale:<\/p>\n

Puppets made a comeback in this workshop, as one of the art forms mentioned in the book is the ancient art of making shadow puppets. Kids made beautiful shadow puppets with bendable joints:<\/p>\n
