How to Make Your Own Shadow Portraits

Shadow portraits are a great fun activity for many ages! We had lots of fun making our portraits and I love how gorgeous and unique they turned out.

We taped a large piece of watercolor paper (we used 18"x24") to a wall (or glass door in our case) using masking tape. We then set up a little Ikea table lamp a few feet away pointing at the paper and positioned ourselves in front of the paper. We had to kind of shuffle and make sure we were positioned correctly to have a crisp line and fit well in the paper.


Then we traced the outlines of our shadows with a pencil. Then we took down the portrait and painted it with water colors.

And here are the finished pieces!

























"As someone interested in creativity and presentation tools, I recently came across Havi AI, and it looks like a promising platform for creating visualisations and slides quickly using AI. Tools like this are becoming really valuable for turning ideas into clear presentations without spending hours designing.
Has anyone here tried using AI tools for building presentations or visual storytelling? I’d be curious to hear how they compare with traditional slide-creation workflows."
