Ed’s exploration of shadows
Ed drew the shadow of the bike rack (Figure 3). He said, ‘I drew the bike rack because
the shadow looked so different from the rack’. He wondered why that would happen.

He was surprised that shadows were not necessarily replicas of the objects that created
them. I noticed in his drawing that he had looped the shadows like a continuous row of
‘e’s, while his drawing of the rack looked more like a row of ‘n’s.
