Episode 122 - Appreciating Family
Segment #2 - Silhouettes
Activity - Modern Version of Paper Silhouettes

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• Photograph of your child taken from a side view
• Scissors – small, sharp craft or manicure scissors work bes
• Pencil
• Poster board

LET'S GET STARTED:

Choose a photograph of your child that was taken from a side view so you have a nice profile.

Photocopy the photograph or print a copy on regular paper if you have a digital photo on your computer. Using the copy, carefully cut out the profile.

Trace the profile shape on black paper and cut it out making sure that you include all the tiny details of nose, mouth and hair. Mount the cutout on poster board in a contrasting color. Or, use white paper for the silhouette, and mount on a black or other dark background.

Using the same technique, you might want to reproduce a photo of an action shot with dad or mom and a daughter or son. They might be dancing together, jogging along the sidewalk or shooting a basketball. Cut out the profiles, trace on paper, cut out and mount them so that the images of the two people fit together well.
