Quick Art - Shadow Puppets

The Learning Connexion tutor Steffen Kreft shows you how to make a simple shadow puppet. All you need is card, scissors, tape and a stick! You can use your shadow puppet to create performances, animations or installations. To see a full list of materials and instructions visit: tlcxpress.ac.nz/2011/01/shadow...
This is one of the programmes available to our students at The Learning Connexion School of Art and Creativity. We have an onsite video production department which creates resources for students. Students who are studying onsite at our Taita campus can check these out via our video library. Students studying from a distance receive material like this on video as part of their programme. We create material that covers techniques, ideas about creativity, and profiles about artists.

Wow. Thanks a lot. I didn't know how to use paper for brads, so I spent $$ on a mini-hole punch and mini brads. Couldn't figure out how to attach the bamboo stick and so the tape didn't really hold the stick because I needed it to pivot inside the tape. Went to a lot of trouble articulating the shoulder, elbow and wrist just so the stick could be held securely by the tape. I really appreciate your video. Thumbs upped and subscribed. My next puppet show will be SO MUCH better!
