You can make anything you like. Here are some examples:
1. All kinds of humans and bipeds
2. All kinds of four-legged creatures, quadrupeds
3. All who are winged
You can make them from anything available around you because art is a
part of our world. These materials today, are what I have found. You
can find others and feel free to experiment and invent your own.
II Staging a Puppet Play
I'll give you some ideas on how to quickly make a little stage.
The example of a scene that I have for you is titled: "People's
excursion to the Forest, where they meet with Animals on a Forest Path".

INTRODUCTION TO ART:
Art is an important element of life.
Art can be different and there is a variety of implementations of art,
for example, I have already worked with marionettes on strings,
different objects made from bottles and paper, origami, “finger
theater”…
Art can be beautiful, funny, scary, sad, disturbing or it can be a
combination of the above. But it is almost always exciting .
Art can be found almost everywhere: on city streets, in museums, inside
your home, in books and in your heads.
SHADOW THEATER:
Today, we will make shadow theatre, which is a combination of several
techniques, such as cutting of paper and cardboard, gluing of different
materials, setting of light, creating of shadow effects, puppet
manipulation skills and more. It is easier to make the scene than to
make the marionettes, as in order to create a scene, you will only have
to cut the bottom of a cardboard box and then beautify it. And for the
rest you need creativity and skill.
I wish you great success in making your own shadow theatre.

INTRODUCTION TO ART:
I noticed that art is at certain moments fun because the boss of my
projects is my cat. You can see art in different faces. You can see art
everywhere. Do you think dance is not art? In dance you can see moments
of art. Or theatre. In theatre actors represent other people and roles
of all living creatures, gods, spirits, and mechanic things, for
example a robot. Masks and costumes help actors acquire a different
face. Historically, in theatre and in dance people used their masks or
life animals, for example the Venetian carnival (I was in Venice and I
loved their magical masks). I have a project, <<SILVER
LION>>, which is based on ballet and we use masks and dance with
cats.
HOW TO MAKE MASKS:
1) First, you need to imagine and to make up you character. DON'T think
that you can't imagine.
2) Then, you need to have feelings about the character so that they
will be reflected on the expression in the mask.
3) Now, you can begin to draw it (if you want), embellish it, and cut
it out.
4) Think of how you want to fix it: strings or sticks or elastic band?
5) Now you can re-enact your character and your feelings. You can put
on music and invite friends.
