Fairy Tales of Brothers Grimm as a Base for Puppet Animation

Bajka je književna vrsta koju djeca najranije susreću, prati ih dugo i ostavlja najjače tragove. Braća Grimm bila su potaknuta bajkama koje je pisao Perrault te su počeli skupljati narodne priče i zajednički ih obrađivati. Njihove obrade bajki bile su sličnije izvorima iz usmene književnosti i nalaze se na granici između čiste narodne i prave umjetničke bajke. Priče i bajke čitane naglas ili ispričane, pobuđuju prilično duboke emocije kod djece. Međutim, nije tako kod sve djece pa je ponekad korisnije odigrati bajku, posebno u radu s mlađom djecom. Lutkarska dramatizacija sastoji se od nekoliko bitnih elemenata koji znatno utječu na rezultat iste. Jedan od tih elemenata je lutka i animacija lutke. Lutke koje djeca izrađuju i koriste u svojim igrokazima mogu biti vrlo jednostavne. Nije važno kako lutka izgleda, nego što dijete osjeća prema njoj. Lutka ne smije biti brbljava jer tako gubi mogućnost da svoje scensko postojanje ostvari na mnogo imanentniji način.. Za potrebe rada adaptirana je bajka braće Grimm Vuk i sedam kozlića. Za potrebe predstave su djeca, mentorica i studentica izradili lutke i scenografiju. Predstavu su izvele studentica i mentorica. Nakon izvedene predstave djeca su sama uzela lutke i izvodili vlastitu lutkarsku improvizaciju što je pokazatelj uspješnosti cjelokupnog rada.Fairy tale is a literary genre that children encounter early. It accompanies them for a long time and leaves the strongest mark. The Grimm Brothers were inspired by fairy tales written by Perrault, and began to collect folk stories and processed them together. Their interpretation of fairy tales were similar to sources of oral literature and are located on the border between pure and true folk art fairy tale. Fairy tales read aloud or told, evoke quite deep emotions in children. But not so in all children and is sometimes useful to play a fairy-tale, especially with younger children. Puppet dramatization consists of several essential elements that significantly affect the result of the same. One of these elements is the puppet and animation of the puppets. The puppets that children create and use in their role playing can be very simple. It does not matter how the puppet looks, but what the child feels towards it. The puppet should not be chatty because it loses the ability to realize their scenic presence in much immanent way. For the purpose of this paper the fairy tale The Wolf and the Seven Goats by Brothers Grimm was adapted. For the purposes of the show the children, mentor and student created puppets and scenery. The play was performed by the student and mentor. After the show the children took the puppets themselves and performed their own puppet improvisation as an indicator of the success of the entire work
