- 5. Finger Puppets Simplest puppet You can have multiple puppets on the one hand They dont have any moveable limbs Only movement is when the puppeteer bends or wiggles their finger
- 6. Stick Puppets Another simplified puppet Using a cut out image or some sort of form place it on a stick Can move and rotate the stick Can have loose limbs that have movement but there is no control over them
- 7. Shadow Puppets Is a flat figure puppet It is all about using light to cast the shadow of the puppet The shadow is cast onto a plain screen It is essentially a stick puppet using the silhouette of the puppet to tell a story
- 8. Marionette Full length figures that the limbs can be controlled All the limbs are attached by string to a control The movement of the control makes the marionettes limbs and body move the way the puppeteer desires Some marionettes used Iron rods instead of string to manipulate the arms and legs of the figure
- 9. History of Marionette Puppets Marionette is one of the advanced style of puppetry There was a string puppet character brought from Italy called Punchinello later became known as Mr Punch The first show of his was documented by Samuel Pepys in 1662 in Covent Garden Thomas Holden was one of the main figures in English Marionette making back then Puppet theatre became a popular source of entertainment in the 18th century
- 10. My own Marionette The making process
- 11. My theme My research area for Education Projects was Northern Renaissance and Mannerism. I decided to base it off the Mannerism movement and take inspiration from the Northern Renaissance for the clothing of the marionette. With the Mannerism movement there is more areas to adapt and take inspiration from. They changed the form of the figure, elongating limbs and facial features and having contorted unusual poses. I felt that this would give me material to work with in creating an interesting stylised marionette.

- 16. The Making Process I started to create the shape of the head, neck and body of my marionette. I used newspaper and masking tape to help create the form. I used this because it is light weight and easy to manipulate into shape. In making the head and neck I stretched the shape and elongated the forms to showcase the Mannerism theme.
- 17. The Making Process I created attachments out of wire for the arms and legs to attach onto the body. This way it will allow full movement of the limbs and still be lightweight and durable. I needed to secure the wire to the body to make sure it wouldnt come out of place.
- 18. The Making Process I moved onto the limbs of the marionette. I also stretched these forms too, making them longer and skinner then they should be. This made it difficult to judge where they should end due to the proportions not being correct.
- 19. The Making Process I played around with the size of the arms, changing the lengths and placing it beside the body to get an idea of size and finally settled on the length. I used wire as the base, having 2 wire loops on either end for attachment and simply layered newspaper around the wire.
- 20. The Making Process Once I had the main body and limbs completed I focused on the head, trying to create facial features. This also proved a challenge as the marionette is supposed to resemble me but still have the Mannerisms movements characteristics. I used clay to sculpt the features of the face, this made the manipulation of features a lot easier. I would be able to add more clay to certain areas to see did it look right and take it away if not.
- 21. The Making Process To prevent the clay from cracking I put plaster bandage over the clay. This might have been a mistake, as it added a lot of weight to the form as well as covering up some of the details that I had with the clay. I needed to cover the clay as it would crack.
- 23. Dressing the Marionette As previously mentioned I am going to take inspiration from my themes, particularly the Northern Renaissance for the clothing. One of the most famous paintings from the Northern Renaissance period is The Arnolfini Portrait. I will be using similar clothing to the woman in the painting.
