Author: Allison Peters Updated: 12:00 AM EDT May 1, 2021 HARTFORD, Conn. — This month's art lesson will teach you how to create a Shadow Puppet. Local Theater Artist Noah Todd walks you through how to create a simple shadow puppet and then a more complex version for anyone wanting to challenge themselves. To create your puppet you will need paper, something to draw with, something to cut with, tape and a control rod which can be a pencil, popsicle stick or sculpting wire...and of course your imagination. Enjoy exploring your creativity and when you are done, take a picture of your puppet in action and you can enter it into this month's contest and possibly win a master class with Noah Todd and $100 gift card to Michael's Arts & Crafts.
