Scenic Art: Canvas Drops

from Page to Stage

Introduction to Scenic Art and/or Scenic Art: Canvas Drops can be taken as part of the Theatre Production Arts certificate.

ARTIST INSTRUCTOR: MICHAEL WHARRAN

Dates: August 19 - 23, 2019

This one-week course is designed for artists who have either finished our introductory scenic paint class or who would like to use their current painting skills to GO BIG. The focus is on the process of creating a large-scale theatrical drop: taking a design image from the page to the stage - from layout to a painted drop. The methods, shortcuts and secrets used by the professional scenic artist, spanning hundreds of years, will be explained giving the participant the opportunity to execute and take away their own piece of theatrical art.

In this course you will learn and expand on the following skills:

Start with a designers' vision and work toward a finished set piece.
Solve problems typical with materials, tools and paints.
Build an image in stages on a large scale in the continental style.
Build confidence with tools found only in a scene painting shop.
