Animal Rights Silhouettes - make silhouettes yourself !
Silhouettes tell a story, simply, without words, in one to six frames. The meaning of the silhouettes may not be clear at first, they are allegories, must be mulled over, and each silhouette may have more than one interpretation and moral. Silhouettes can act as starting points for exploration and discussion about animal rights issues (ideal for schools).
Most of the craft of making silhouettes is thinking; the rest is pen work. Composing an animal rights silhouette with anger in your heart is relatively easy (rather like the sad silhouette below of the lion at the zoo / circus); incorporating good humour into your silhouettes is more difficult but more effective for getting your message across.
Click on each silhouette to go to the page where it is displayed.
