Paper Shadow Design

School Groups
Preschool

Face-to-Face

What is the mysterious part of us that is only visible when there is light? Inspired by artist Rashad Alakbarov’s work placing light and shadow as its core elements, we will explore the shadows cast by various objects. On a piece of paper, we will draw the outline of the shadows projected by a toy or any other object, and then cut the outline and glue it to another piece of paper. The workshop will help develop fine motor skills, while also enhancing the understanding of the cause and effect through the discussion of the projection of shadows.

French artist Félix Ziem is one of the most original landscape painters of the 19thcentury. The exhibition Wanderer on the Sea of Light presents Ziem as an artist who left his mark on 19th century painting and who is mostly known for his paintings of Istanbul and Venice, where the city and the sea are intertwined.

Félix Ziem is accepted as one of the well-known artists of the romantic landscape painting, and has been followed closely by art lovers and collectors of all periods since. He had a profound influence on generations of artists after him, and was the first artist whose works were acquired by the Louvre while he was still alive.
