Silhouettes and Outlines
In PYP 2 Omega we have been learning about silhouettes and outlines. Students are practising using imagination to describe the outlines of shapes in various ways. We are tying this creativity into our study of shapes and students expressed desire to explore light and shadow. We used ink blots, shadows, clouds and spilt liquid to stimulate expression.
Students watched, created and performed shows with shadow puppets, exploring ways that puppets could represent different characters. Students created shadow mime for others to interpret.
Students examining a variety of outlines. Students identified common objects by their shadow, and created outlines for others to guess.
Students explored symmetry and imagination, creating nonsense paintings and interpreting them.
