View of Davis Library's grounds around 12:35 PM Friday 2.7.14 |
Yes, almost immediately after the
groundhog
saw his shadow, 6-8 inches of snow dumped onto the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community
College campus causing closings and delays for Davis Library throughout the week. At any rate, it looks like “Old Man Winter” is here
to stay with us for a while.
To beat the doldrums of being stuck
inside and because we don’t want groundhogs to have all the fun, we're highlighting a little shadowgraphy in today’s post.
So, sit back and enjoy a short
video of hand shadow puppetry featuring performance artist Raymond Crowe…
Or, if you want to learn more about how to make your own shadow puppets, check out the following
videos from VideoJug with professional
puppeteer Corina Bona…

Davis Library also has the book Worlds of Shadow: Teaching with
Shadow Puppetry by David and Donna Wisniewski in its collection, which is also available for
Rio Grande students, faculty and staff to borrow via OhioLINK and SearchOhio if it's already been checked-out.
Brrr… stay warm and make the best
of what’s left of winter!
Then, don’t forget! If you need research help or want to find
more resources on the art of shadowgraphy, you can always… “Ask Us!”
