Drawing pictures with a shadow is a rather subtle and painstaking art, requiring precise calculations, correct projection of light. This is a difficult task. Let us recall at least the performances of "home shadow theater", when adults, with the help of their hands, try to recreate shadow images of various funny and interesting animals in order to make their children laugh.
Earlier, we have already talked about many masters of light and shadow, including the Japanese artist Kumi Yamashita and the Belgian Fred Eerdekens. Their art of black and white drawings lies in the fact that they create amazing installations that, with the right lighting, or the penetration of light, their connection, reveal the images and messages hidden in them. Quite an exciting activity and incredibly interesting to observe how a completely unexpected image gradually emerges from ordinary objects.
Professionals in shading are Henrietta Swift and Christopher Smith. They created an amazing project called Shadow Monuments. Two illustrator students from the University of Brighton "build" famous world monuments and famous landmarks from shadows, projected only from their own bodies. Undeniably amazing work of two young people.
