Shadow Puppets

For the last 2 weeks the children at Art Club made Shadow Puppets!

For the first week they got into groups and decided on what characters to make and how they could interact in a short 2 minute play.

Then they got down to work! Designing their characters and cutting them out of black card. Then they attached all the joints together with brass fasteners and attached kebab sticks to the back to animate them.

In the second week the children made slides using coloured lighting filters and paint. Then each group came into the film room to perform each of their plays.

It was so much fun! Here are the results in the finished films!
