Shadow Journeys: Exploring Elements of Story

Shadow puppetry, with its bold shapes, vivid colors, and dramatic movement, is a highly engaging art form that allows students to express their understanding through visual art, drama, and writing. In this three-hour workshop teachers will explore techniques to create and use shadow puppets to explore character, setting, problem, resolution, story structure, and language. Easily adaptable strategies to Social Studies curriculum will also be covered. Led by Kennedy Center teaching artist Daniel Barash.
