This Painting laboratory empowers set, costume and lighting designers by providing them with a deeper understanding of the manipulation of color for the stage. Students learn color theory and color palettes as well as how to render a variety of surfaces including costumes, properties and architecture. Painting exercises are completed in and out of doors, from life and from research. Media includes watercolor, gouache, pastel, acrylic, markers, pencil, airbrush and collage. Note: This is a drawing course, and students will be expected to purchase art supplies during the semester.
