9. Kinds of Puppets

10. Marionettes  Marionettes are puppets controlled by strings attached to parts of the figure's body and controlled from above by the puppeteer. The difficulty in learning to control the puppet movements smoothly make marionettes one of the more difficult forms to master.

11. Hand puppets  The hand puppet consists of a sock or other bag-like object into which the puppeteer places her hand to make it move. The puppet features are attached to the sock or bag in this very simple puppet form.

12. Finger puppets  A finger puppet consists of a very small, hollowed-out body that fits over the finger. Attached to the body are limbs and a head.

13. Shadow puppets  A shadow puppet consists of a jointed figure controlled by rods or strings at the head and limbs that puppeteers manipulate behind a white screen onto which a bright light shines, causing the audience to see shadow images.

14. Ventriloquist dummies  The ventriloquist performs with the puppet by moving its head, mouth and body parts while talking in the puppet's voice through his own mostly closed mouth.

15. Rod puppets  Rod puppets consist of a figure controlled by a puppeteer using rods attached to its body parts. Many of the Muppets characters are rod puppets.

21. Diving Mask A diving mask (also dive mask or scuba mask) is an item of diving equipment that allows scuba divers, free-divers, and snorkelers to see clearly underwater. When the human eye is in direct contact with water as opposed to air, its normal environment, light entering the eye is refracted by a different angle and the eye is unable to focus the light. By providing an air space in front of the eyes, light enters normally and the eye is able to focus correctly.

22. Masquerade mask A masks worn for party, ritual or ceremonial functions. This is often described as a masque, and relates closely to carnival styles. For example, attendants of a costume party will sometimes wear masks as part of their costumes.

23. Ski Mask A one piece pullover covering for the eyes, head and face, generally of knitted material with holes for the eyes, the mouth, and sometimes the nose, originally worn by skiers and used to protect the face against cold and wind.

24. Gas Mask A gas mask is a mask put on over the face to protect the wearer from inhaling airborne pollutants and toxic gases. The mask forms a sealed cover over the nose and mouth, but may also cover the eyes and other vulnerable soft tissues of the face. Some gas masks are also respirators, though the word gas mask is often used to refer to military equipment (e.g. Field Protective Mask). The user of the gas mask is not protected from gas that the skin can absorb.

25. Surgical mask A surgical mask, also known as a procedure mask, is intended to be worn by health professionals during surgery and at other times to catch the bacteria shed in liquid droplets and aerosols from the wearer's mouth and nose. Its first recorded use was by the French surgeon Paul Berger during an 1897 operation in Paris.

26. Oxygen mask An oxygen mask provides a method to transfer breathing oxygen gas from a storage tank to the lungs. Oxygen masks may cover the nose and mouth (oral nasal mask) or the entire face (full-face mask). They may be made of plastic, silicone, or rubber. In certain circumstances, oxygen may be delivered via a nasal cannula instead of a mask.

27. Hockey mask is a mask worn by ice hockey, inline hockey, and field hockey goaltenders to protect the head from injury. Jacques Plante was the first goaltender to create and use a practical mask in 1959. Plante's mask was a piece of fiberglass that was contoured to his face. This mask later evolved into a helmet/cage combination, and single piece full fiberglass mask. Today, the full fiberglass mask is the more popular option because it is safer.

28. Masks in performance Throughout the world masks are used for their expressive power as a feature of masked performance - both ritually and in various theatre traditions. The ritual and theatrical definitions of mask usage frequently overlap and merge but still provide a useful basis for categorization. The image of juxtaposed Comedy and Tragedy masks are widely used to represent the Performing Arts, and specifically Drama.
