Shadow Puppets with Janelle Iglesias – Socrates Sculpture Park
Thursday, July 5, 2012 - 1:00pm
Socrates Sculpture Park
32-01 Vernon Boulevard, LIC
July 2-6, 10am-12pm & 1-3pm
Explore an ancient art form of storytelling and entertainment using simple everyday materials. A shadow puppet is a cutout figure held between a source of light and a translucent screen. Participants will learn how to make shadow puppets with movable parts and collaborate to design a shadow puppet theater that can be brought back and used in the classroom.
This free workshop offers diverse groups of children from neighborhood youth agencies, community groups, summer schools, and day camps the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities inspired by exhibitions at the Park. Artists run two sessions of their workshop each day of the week and teach children fundamental and contemporary art making techniques. Groups can sign up for a single workshop or a combination of weekly workshops. Registration and scheduling will be on a first come, first serve basis. To register your group, please call: 718-956-1819. (Note: For groups only and by preregistration, deposit is required, returned upon arrival)
