It has a history of about 2. ooo years in China, India and Southeast Asia. The moving shadows on a screen are used to tell history and folk stories. And hand shadow is one of the simplest ways to make shadow play. With a bit of practise, most people can change the shape of hands to make animals like dogs and birds, on the wall Today, shadow art has developed into one more creative style. In the spring of 2016, Vincent Bal, an artist in Europe, turned the shadows into a clever art form-shadow drawing. He named this special drawing "Shadowology". In the Shadowology, a little drawing is added into the shadows of everyday things to create wonderful pictures Like most good things in life, Shadowology came by accident. One day, during a break from work, Bal noticed that the shadow of his teacup looked like a little elephant. He drew eyes, legs and a smile for the shadow, and took a photo of that. After sharing the photo on the Internet, Bal surprisingly found people's love for it, which encouraged him to continue Since then, Bal has got 6oo,ooo fans on the Internet. He keeps producing as many different shadow works as possible. For example, he made a pair of sunglasses look like the wings of a butterfly, and a bottle become a lamp. All his works are interesting and playful. In 2o23, Bal finished Shadowology films and a museum exhibition Nowadays, Shadowology has won the hearts of people around the world.
