Working in teams, students will generate industry standard design presentations, budgets and schedules in preparation of realizing their set designs. Through studio based workshops they will learn basic skills in set construction, scenic painting and set decoration. Students will work in collaborative groups with a focus on problem solving, time management and communication. Emphasis will be placed on portfolio development with the end goal to produce material which can be included in a professional portfolio.
