Ms. Lynka told us all about Tyrus Wong, an artist who immigrated from China to America. During this period of history, people from China faced many racist laws if they tried to come to North America. Tyrus and his father had to pretend to be someone else, just so they could have a chance to move to California!
Many years later, Tyrus began working at Walt Disney Studios. At first, his job was to draw the ‘in-between scenes’ (a very tedious and tiring job). However, later Tyrus began drawing beautiful scenery and landscapes. Though he was an important artist in films like Bambi, he was not credited by Disney.
