2nd Yr - Puppetry 'The Big Clean Up'

2nd Year's made some fantastic puppets, using a variety of materials, such as newspaper, paper mache, old clothes, wool, cardboard, bin bags, string, fake eyelashes etc! Working in groups of two or three, students were asked to create a string puppet based on the theme of ‘The Big Clean Up’. They began by brainstorming, then created an A2 Prep sheet of sketches, designs and ideas. Students also had to research the history of puppet making, and local parades such as the Galway Arts Festival Macnas parade. At the end of the project the puppets were filmed and came to life, Harlem Shake style!
