Shadow Puppetry Process

After collecting research on Inodnesia and its culture, I proceeded in creating my own puppet that reflects Indonesia. I began by looking at various Indonesian puppets for reference.

Based on these images I continued to create my own original puppet. I began by drawing out rough sketches and designs.

 I then continued to develop the shape of my puppet to reflect more of an Indonesian style. I made various changes to my original idea. Through research I found that wealthy people wear skirts and poorer people wear pants in the Indonesian culture because of this I took away the shorts and drew in pants since my characters are royalty. I also further developed the shape of the hands and head. I also made the characters bigger and planned where I wanted my joints to go.

 Next I traced out each part onto another piece of paper and cut them out



Lastly I traced each piece onto a black card stock paper, cut the pieces out and assembled my puppets with brass pins. I continues to make different cutouts in my puppets for design and painted each one. Lastly I attached sticks and my puppets were complete.
