Scenic Design & Technology

(ARTV 20217)

This course introduces the creative and technical processes of designing and building scenery for theatrical performance. Students learn how to translate a script or performance concept into a visual environment through research, sketching, drafting, model-making, and paint elevations.. Students gain hands-on experience with stage mechanics, materials, and tools in the scene shop while learning how to interpret a text through design. For interested students, the scenic design and technology process can extend to other performance forms including dance, installation and site-specific work. No prior design or technical experience is required.
