The course explores shape, form and movement as it relates to character, mood and atmosphere. The history of the art of puppetry from around the world is discussed through images, videos and readings. Students learn how to construct masks, shadow puppets, hand and rod puppets, and marionettes, and will work in groups to put on performances of folk tales from various parts of the world. Puppetry is also examined as a tool in education, therapy and advertising. ![Image_006-Mar-15-2023-03-14-02-7212-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_006-Mar-15-2023-03-14-02-7212-PM.jpg?width=2376&height=1765&name=Image_006-Mar-15-2023-03-14-02-7212-PM.jpg) ![Image_010-Mar-15-2023-03-14-02-7028-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_010-Mar-15-2023-03-14-02-7028-PM.jpg?width=1828&height=2293&name=Image_010-Mar-15-2023-03-14-02-7028-PM.jpg) ![Image_007-Mar-15-2023-03-14-02-7213-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_007-Mar-15-2023-03-14-02-7213-PM.jpg?width=1985&height=2112&name=Image_007-Mar-15-2023-03-14-02-7213-PM.jpg) ![Image_012-Mar-15-2023-03-14-02-6599-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_012-Mar-15-2023-03-14-02-6599-PM.jpg?width=1840&height=2279&name=Image_012-Mar-15-2023-03-14-02-6599-PM.jpg) [![Learn About Our Humanities Programs](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/376696/dd67abbf-2361-4c07-ada8-0bebeb8b35eb.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/376696/dd67abbf-2361-4c07-ada8-0bebeb8b35eb) Topics: [Programs and Majors](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/programs-and-majors), [Humanities](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/humanities), [Fine Art](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/fine-art) ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic A-Z -
