Shadow and art

When I looked around, I noticed the different shapes created by shadows. Nobody notices the shadows all around us. Shadows, though often overlooked, provide a unique perspective on everyday life. Shadows pervade everything we do. However, no one took into account how beautiful and unique they are.

How do these shadows form? When the light falls on an object, a dark patch forms on the other side of the object. That dark patch is the shadow.

Our shadow is the one who never leaves us in our lives. The shadow follows us wherever we go. Have you ever noticed how the shadows change when light falls on any object? It is an art for me. I can also enjoy my own shadow.

I can remember when we were kids, we made a lot of shadows on the wall using our hands. We used to make dog faces, horse faces, and parrot faces. Those days, by seeing those shadows we were happy a lot. Even today, we go through the same motions to make our children happy.

Do you believe that shadow and reflection are the same? No, there are some differences between shadow and reflection. We can see the colors of our dress in reflection, but the shadow shows a black patch. Our reflection allows us to see what type of necklace we are wearing, or whether we are wearing a tie, but the shadow does not allow us to see the same. The shadow only shows the outline of the object and not its details.

Being in far, by seeing the shadow of a man or object, we can guess what they are doing. The shadow reveals every movement of the object. I sometimes enjoy looking at shadow art, which allows us to relax our minds.

The shadows allow us to escape the hot sun. We seek shade to avoid the hot sun. That shade also is provided by the shadows of some objects.
