Welcome

Welcome to your sculpture class blog. This blog's purpose is to have a discussion of all things puppet. We are dedicating this quarter to puppetry and will start by traveling to the UCONN puppet museum to start our research. Once we have done our puppet research, we will then build our own puppets and film our own performances. I am looking forward to working with you.

Mr. Krugman's Awesome Link

Mr. Krugman sent me this puppet link about a theater production called WARHORSE, about a horse and a boy.  The horse is sold to the army and goes to Europe in World War II and the boy lies about his age and enlists just to find the horse.  In the theater production, the horse is a puppet run by three puppeteers. It is amazing!  If you want to look at more, google WARHORSE, and you will find more video.  I have posted three links for you.  Take a look:

Ms. Kellogg's Awesome Link

Ms. Kellogg passed this link onto me.  It is an artist who create sock puppets for their rock band, and takes portraits of them and makes a myspace page for them.  Really interesting.  Take a look. Mrs. Nicholson

Here is my movie as a test:
