Always bring Theatrical
Scene Painting to class.
You might also want to bring a large zip-lock baggie
to keep it in so it doesn't get ruined by paint
Important reminder: only use the paint you purchased for these projects; not the shop's paint.
| Between: | Complete the Following Projects: |
| 9/5 and 9/7 |
Build the scenic art flat Note that there is an extended drying time to allow for the glue (holding the fabric to the frame) to dry before you can prime the fabric — budget your time wisely. |
| 9/5 and 9/12 |
Mix black and white paint using a constant and reliable, but not too wasteful unit of measure, and paint 4" swatches on a 36" piece of 1x4 — thereby creating a Table of Nine Mixtures that you'll be using as a reference guide the rest of the semester. |
| 9/7 and 9/12 | Work up a sample of a graded wet blend using only black and white paint and make sure I see the finished version. Then work up a sample of a scumble (also black and white), only re-priming the flat again if necessary. |
| 9/12 and 9/19 | Prime your flat white. Once it's dry, divide it into four even squares. Using only black paint and water, work up samples of basic spattering, sponging, rag rolling, and dry brushing. Mask, with kraft paper, whichever three of the four squares you're not using at that moment (especially when you spatter). |
| 9/19 and 12/7 |
