In this class, students will use silhouettes to tell stories by creating simple, visual scenes. Over the course of two weeks, students will choose a familiar story or fairy tale, like "The Three Little Pigs" or "Jack and Jill," and break it into key scenes. They will create silhouette characters and scenes using black paper, drawing inspiration from magazines, books, or their own drawings. Throughout the class, I will check in daily to assist with any questions or challenges. I look forward to seeing your creative silhouettes and how you bring your stories to life!
