One group of fifth grade students was back from their field trip in time for art class. So we decided to try something new, Shadow Art, with just that group to see how it would work.
For the past few weeks 5th graders had been working on their flying animations by creating the figure, landscape, and then animating both together on the computer. View them here. So we projected their landscapes digitally on the board and took out our toy dinosaurs. What? Doesn't every art room have a stash of toy dinosaurs? We created a shadow by holding it in front of the projector and snapped a photo.

 We projected the digital versions of our landscapes on our board |  Students chose their favorite dinosaur toy to create a shadow |  The snapshot of the board was enhanced with filters to look old fashioned |

This isn't the first time Dryden students worked with shadows.
