The Glitter Bomb - Shape Castle Silhouette

Some castles and mansions have a spooky feel to them. It might be their location, or the way the moon hits them, but many also have legends - some local, or some that have inspired a generation, such as Dracula's Castle - or Castle Bran. 

In this project, students will create the full moon that gives it an eerie appearance, and then use a single piece of paper which they will deconstruct into shapes and then reconstruct into a castle.

Older students can add movable shutters, and younger students can just use a silver marker or oil pastel to add the reflection of windows under the moonlight.
