Shadow art !

After having looked at my two wire hands for quite a while i realised that they make quite interesting shadows on whatever background they are against, so i decided to look into the idea of shadow art further. I found some really fun and interesting images on the internet.

 The shadows of this tree on a street looks in a way like the shadows of the wire.

The batman sign made from shadows.

and so on....

After dealing with the wire hands alone i decided to put the small hand on my own and work with it....

I took photos of it in different positions....

 

 

 

I then staerted to do up some small drawings of these hands using various medium....

such as pencil, charcoal and paint.

Looking at the three small drawings I realised i liked the paint one best and wanted to see it on a larger scale, so i made a large painting of it on brown paper.

 

Here is the finished piece....
I wouldnt mind doing a whole series of these in various colours but for now i have other ideas in mind.

more wire hands....

I had some photos from failed attempts at videos so i just kept them the way they were and used them.

I then began to draw these wire hands.....they seemed to be an interesting subject matter...

I used different mediums with each hand i drew...

2 wire hands....hmmm...

So after i had both hands completed in front of me I had to try and think of something to so with them....then i thought....why not try my hand at a small stop motion.....I struggles with ideas for this and went through a few bad ones but finally came up with something that worked in a wierd sort of way...

just a little experiment... :)
