Interested in electronics from a young age, John Logie Baird’s dream was to be an inventor. Baird’s experiments in Hastings, nearly one hundred years ago, led to the transmission of the first true television image and the development of the first television system.
It is time for you to get creative! Get involved in 'Shadow Dreams', part of Hastings Museum & Art Gallery's Digital Museum project.
During September 2021, we are asking members of the community (of any age) to create a shadow puppet which represents their dream; and then transmit an image of it to us! Hastings Museum & Art Gallery hosts an important archive of Baird’s letters and documents, as well as a number of objects relating to early television history.
Our resource pack contains a look back on Baird’s life; a focus on Dreams and Ambitions; step-by-step instructions on how to make a shadow puppet; a template page for design ideas and the final design; and some shadow puppet examples to practise with.
Shadow Dreams 1 - Introduction (1.1MB)
Shadow Dreams 2 - Instructions (491KB)
Shadow Dreams 3 - Activity Templates (511KB)
Shadow Dreams 4 - Shadow Puppet Examples (733KB)
Once you have created your Shadow Puppet, transmit an image of your shadow puppet and it’s shadow. Tag us using the following social media handles. Please ask a responsible adult if you need help, and always remain safe when posting online.
