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.

The Battle of Varna

The Battle of Varna

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
