THET 215 Theatre Design II

This course explores the tools and processes used by theatrical designers to communicate design concepts with collaborators. Students will communicate design ideas to a production team by learning, developing, and using skills in computer-aided rendering, drafting, hand drawing, visual research and collage, three-dimensional computer modeling, and the utilization of lighting and sound in the design process. Focus will be placed on the collaboration and flexibility required for a successful design process.
