SILHOUETTE ARTISTS at your special event will give your guests a memorable gift to take home and cherish.
A silhouette is a view of an object or scene consisting of the outline and a featureless interior, with the silhouetted object usually being black. The term was initially applied in the 18th century to portraits or other pictorial representations cut from thin black paper. Silhouette images may be created in any artistic media, but the tradition of cutting portraits from thin black silhouette paper has continued into the 21st century.
TRADITIONAL SILHOUETTE PORTRAITURE
A silhouette portrait can be painted or drawn. However, the traditional method of creating silhouette portraits is to cut them from lightweight black silhouette paper, and mount them on a pale (usually white) background. This was the work of specialist artists, often working out of booths at fairs or markets. A traditional silhouette portrait artist would cut the likeness of a person, freehand, within a few minutes. Some modern silhouette artists also make silhouettes portraits from photographs of people taken in profile.
Imagine the curiosity around the table while the artist is capturing the subject on black
paper at your event. In today's world of technology, this kind of art form is not only
entertaining and fascinating but a refreshing twist to your event entertainment and activities.
The silhouette artist will skillfully cut the profile out of thin black paper with special scissors and
mount it in a decorative mat. The guests can now take it along and have a wonderful
memento of the great time they had at your affair. Great for Weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Sweet Sixteens
and other special functions where both children and adults
can enjoy the festivities.
