31/10/26: Kara Walker– African American Visual Artist – Silhouette Art – b. 1969 -USA
Kara Walker is an American Artist best known for her large-scale silhouette installations, which use cut black paper to examine themes of race, power, memory, and the legacy of slavery in America. Walker uses the Victorian-era silhouette style to critique historical narratives and to revisit the history of the American South.
For this workshop, your child will design their own story. They will draw or paint their own background and cut out silhouettes. As it will be Halloween, we will ask children to make silhouette cut-outs of monsters, witches and wizards, cauldrons, spiders etc…
We will make puppets based on these silhouettes and with the help of an overhead projector, project the shadows onto their background.
