Folk Art Workshop
Toy Theater inspired by Clementine Hunter
Animate scenes in Clementine Hunter’s paintings. What were the people she painted doing and saying? Participants will focus in to select one area of a painting. They will re-create the background with simple materials, then build quick rod puppets of the painting’s people and put words in their mouths in short performances. Participants will leave with a toy theater stage and the puppets they create. Have fun imagining the world inside a painting, and bringing it to life!
