Create > Paper Animal Silhouettes
Goal: Create a series of 5 images that use cut-out shapes to create silhouettes.
Studio Activity:
Be inspired by the work of Nikolai Tolstyh > https://instagram.com/n_tolstyh/ . Look at how he uses cut paper to emphasize form and figure ground illusions. Feel free to expand upon the idea and explore the effects with other shapes, different colored paper or multiple layers. Experiment with cropping and filters.
Rich McCor, aka Paperboy, is a British artist/photographer who uses paper cut-outs to augment his resulting photographs.
Trigger Mechanisms: Figure-ground, texture, camouflage
