Workshop
Stories of Light and Shadow
Available Term 4 2024
Mon 14 Oct – Fri 20 Dec
In every good story, there is both light and shadow. During this workshop students will discuss the basic elements of storytelling, thinking about how a picture can tell a story.
Each student will design and create their own light box, in which they will be able to let their imaginations run free. The workshop will develop paper construction techniques and also include an introduction to the science behind how our eyes perceive perspective and distance through light and shadow. The finished product will be both an interesting sculptural work during the day and an enchanting light box at night.
