Shadow Mask Workshops

(click on pictures to see larger versions)

 
Shadow Mask Projects conducted with middle school students produce intensely evocative and moving designs. These projects integrate Arts and English curriculum as the students explore themselves, their shadow and creativity. This is done through the visual medium of the mask itself as well as an in depth written analysis. It is a powerful process which grounds the students in themselves and their art at a crucial time in adolescence. Below are a few examples.
