The class provides a vocabulary for the discussion, appreciation, participation and evaluation of theatrical design specifically as it relates to the scenic elements of the production. Students will become comfortable with expressing ideas and relaying information through sketching, storyboarding, and rendering- both by hand and using available digital tools. This is a project-based class and course work involves engaging with readings, lecture material, research, critical analysis, and rendering with basic digital tools and physical prototyping.

TAPS 133D: Set Design Practicum
This course is intended for students who are in the process of designing scenery for a Stanford club or department production and seek guidance in developing and refining their design. It is also open to students who have not yet committed to a fully realized set design project but would like to in the future, or anyone who would like to focus on the practical aspects of set design in general. Each week students present their work on a current or future set design and receive feedback and suggestions from classmates and the instructor. Also, the instructor will create project oriented assignments adapted to the needs and timeline of each individual project and student. Topics include: visual research, sketching, computer and hand drafting, and model making. During the first two weeks of the course students and instructor will determine a final project, such as a color model or design drafting, which will be required for completion of the course.
