Whether to chronicle your child’s growth, or just as a fun art project, shadow silhouette art is fun and easy to do at home. You will need a movable light source, a few pushpins, a large sheet of paper, a pencil to trace, and another person if you are making a silhouette of yourself. Have your subject (or yourself) sit down in a chair next to a wall. Move the light source close enough to cast the shadow of your head against the wall. Once this is accomplished, take the large sheet of paper, and pin it against the wall with the shadow of the head inside. Then take your pencil and trace the outline of the shadow against the wall onto the paper.
This process will give you a silhouette outline, which you can trace onto a piece of construction paper, and then transfer to a background of your choosing. It’s a fun project for kids and even adults!
