Capturing the human face and form (and especially 'character'), on canvas or paper, in clay, stone, metal or wood, is certainly one of the most basic and universal of artistic projects. In this spirit, these unique Kits are made to provide an articulated, wooden 'canvas' for painting a 'personality' in not just 2 or 3, but 4 dimensions (i.e.with gesture and motion!).
Our 'Character Kit' provides all the essential materials and information that the kit-maker will need to make a completely original marionette 'character' of his or her own conception. Creating the clothing, painting the face and making hair are all addressed in detail to facilitate the process of creation, while keeping the canvas 'empty' until it receives the unique stamp of the artist.
In addition, groups will enjoy the possibility of creating characters as a 'cast' with the culmination of the project being a small theatrical production. Whether for 'theatre' or just plain fun, few toys lend themselves better to interactive play than the large, easy-to-use marionettes that can be made with Marionettes.com Kits.
