Last semester in Creative Kids Co-op, Mrs. S led the seventh grade in another successful puppets class.

Each marionette started out as only a block of wood for the torso and limbs. The students received screws for the joints as well as clay for the hands, feet, and head. They molded, carved, and painted with the tools given and created one of a kind pieces of art. Fake hair and accessories were then added and glued. Mrs. S also sewed all the clothes by hand and strung each puppet individually at the end of the semester.

Two very popular themes this year were The Hobbit and Five Nights at Freddy’s. A few other puppet characters included Doctor Who, a horse, and Gimli from Lord of the Rings. Everyone enjoyed themselves participating in this class.

Sadly, this was Mrs. S’s last time teaching an art class at CKC. We all will miss her very much and thank her for being a part of our homeschooling experience.
