Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Teach the Faculty members and students about the basic techniques and forms of puppet theater and let them make applications for these. Listens to student s proposals about how to play and put the applications on the stage. Canalizes them for solving the possible technical problems.

Review Sessions and Class Discussions
From the stage of design till implementation, review sessions will be held within the first hour lesson each week. Works carried over in the classroom and extracurricular activities will compose the basis of the problems to be solved at this process. Students will take part in class discussions, will be asked to submit their views on design.

Applications
At the phase of transition from design to production; and according to the application of puppet technique to be used; material selections and usage practicing will be done by the students. They will be provided to comprehend the parallel realtionship between the design and application, through developing their skills; and they will be informed about the possible solutions for the problems arising at this phase.
