We will learn about storytelling with the methods of Indonesian and Chinese shadow play. Students will work together to design shadow puppets of their own, and we will tell a story from Aesop's Fables. Puppet design will involve sketching how they want their character to look, then transferring that idea to thicker paper where we will cut out the characters using positive and negative space. Students will decorate the puppets with colorful papers, paints, and even clear plastic, which will show through the shadow puppets onto the screen. In addition to designing puppets, we will also create scenery that can move and change with the characters in our story.
