Models of Class Designs
As part of the Scenic Design class students design productions assigned or by choice from a selection of plays. The list is constantly changing. Students research, sketch, and model in 1/4" scale. Their work is then presented in a mock production meeting.
Sam Shepherd's Buried Child
August Wilson's Fences
Athol Fugard's The Island - Jail Cell
Athol Fugard's The Island - Antigone
Class Project "The Door"
Students designed a door utilizing the Elements of Design as we studied in class and then used those principles to design at door that conveyed an emotion or feeling. They sketched the idea and then built and painted scale models to express the idea. The class then discussed the effectiveness of their work.
Computer Graphics
Costume Rendering Project - Students were given the task of researching a historical costume and then using their research to render the style in color using either Adobe Photoshop or Procreate on an iPad. They could use historical illustrations as the base as long as the final rendering was transformed and in full color. Another requirement was the application of at least one pattern to the renderings. Students were given style freedom to adapt the style to their liking.
Computer Graphics
Paint Elevation Project - Students were given a line drawing and then rendered it as a theatrical paint elevation in Adobe Photoshop or Procreate for iPad. They needed sections of the wall to be different materials and colors. they also used different shading techniques to better express their ideas.
