The history of puppetry

V diplomskem delu z naslovom Zgodovina lutkarstva smo želeli raziskati lutke in zgodovino lutkarstva. Namen diplomskega dela je bil, da s pomočjo strokovne literature naredimo pregled in izvor zgodovine lutkarstva. Osredotočili smo se tudi na različne vrste lutk in jih opisali. Zanimalo pa nas je tudi lutkarstvo na Slovenskem in pomembni slovenski lutkarji. Diplomsko delo je teoretično in pri pisanju smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo s študijem domače in tuje literature. Lutka je že od nekdaj okoli nas. Ta starodavna umetnost se pojavi že v pradavnini in je prisotna ter priljubljena še dandanes po vsem svetu. Seveda se je lutka skozi različna časovna obdobja spreminjala, ampak bila prisotna skoraj vsepovsod. V lutkovnih predstavah uživajo ljudje vseh starosti, priljubljena pa je tudi v vrtcih in šolah. Lutkarstvo poznamo kot umetniško gledališko zvrst, vzgojno-terapevtsko sredstvo in kot otroško kreativno igro. Za začetnika lutkarske dejavnosti v Sloveniji štejemo Milana Klemenčiča, ki je sestavil repertoar Slovenskega marionetnega gledališča in postavil pomembne temelje slovenskega umetniškega lutkarstva.In the thesis entitled The History of Puppetry, we wanted to explore the puppets and the history of puppetry. The purpose of the diploma thesis was to make a review of the origin and the history of puppetry with the help of professional literature. Further, we focused on various types of puppets and their description, as well as, the puppetry in Slovenia and important Slovenian puppeteers. The diploma thesis is theoretical, while writing we used a descriptive method with the study of indigenous and foreign literature. The puppet has always been around us. This ancient art is present and beloved all around the world even today. Indubitably the puppet changed over time, but it was present almost everywhere. Puppet shows are enjoyed by people of all ages and are popular in kindergartens and schools. Puppetry is known as an artistic theatrical genus, an educational therapeutic agent and as a children\u27s creative game. Milan Klemenčič is considered the beginner of puppetry in Slovenia when he created the repertoire of the Slovenian Marionette Theatre and laid the foundations of the Slovenian art puppetry
