This document provides instructions for a shadow photography project consisting of 3 final photos forming a triptych interpreting a song, poem, fairytale or quote. Students will take photos exploring shadows in 3 ways: 1) the shadow alone, 2) a piece of the subject and its shadow, and 3) the full subject and shadow. The final 3 photos are due December 11th and should combine techniques to illustrate the chosen work.
