Technical Drawing for Stage Design

By Gary Thorne

Explaining the importance of drawing in the design process, this guide reveals how the initial two-dimensional drawing is a crucial building block in creating the scale model that in turn will develop into the stage set--that will transport the audience into another world. Topics covered include an introduction to the tools and equipment used by the designer; developing confidence in freehand sketching; drawing to aid the creative thought process, communicate design ideas, and and help with the construction process; scenic elements and the related terminology; and the architecture of the theater and how to draw it.
