Exploring Shadow Masks and Silhouette
For Grades 3 and Up
This workshop uses overhead projectors and a projection screen to explore human silhouettes and shadow masks as tools for storytelling. Participants will create large-scale masks using cardboard, feathers, faux fur, and other repurposed materials to transform their bodies into expressive shadow characters.
This hands-on workshop is designed for grades 3 and up. Join us as we channel our creativity into creating bold shapes and designs, and build transformative, larger-than-life creatures.
