Which puppets will you make? Draw them in the space below.
Puppets should be designed based on the characters in the selected story. The design includes deciding whether the puppet represents a human or animal character, determining physical characteristics like height (tall or short), facial expressions (cheerful, grumpy, shy, outgoing), and body proportions. Puppets often have elongated bodies, arms, and hands. The drawing should show both the body and reflect the personality of the character through its appearance.
Explanation
The chapter explains that character sketch involves deciding characteristics like whether the puppet would be tall or short, cheerful or grumpy, outgoing or shy. This helps in deciding the face, body, expression, voice, and mannerisms of the puppet. Figure 5.5 shows an example of a scared lion and his mouse friend.
