Silhouette and Shadows Extended - more information!
Overview
Silhouette and Shadows Part 2 is a fun extension of Part 1. Students take the figure further by using the silhouette to put on a variety of patterned backgrounds. The result is a beautiful effect combined with texture that students will add with carving techniques into plaster. Glazes, washes and collage will be added to complete this stunning project.
