Quick and Dirty 3-Dimensional Prospective Drawing for the Designer UNO Design Studio - Bob Hamel
At some point every scenic designer needs to make the transition from a ground Plan to a 3-Dimensional drawing of the set so you can best communicate your ideas and environment with the other members of your production team. Before the advent of 3-D software, drafters had many methods to do this using pencil, paper and your brain. We will work with one of the fastest methods to do this as we prepare a Prospective Drawing from provided ground plans and sectional drawings. (All levels of experience - as long as you know how to read a ground plan
and section drawing.)
Students should bring three #2 pencils and a good eraser.
Limit: 18 participants
