​

Ms. Price provides ALL learning for absent students in a self-directed format.  If absent, read & understand/complete each of the day's activities below. 

You are EXPECTED to keep up with what's going on in class.

​

Day 1:  Your Script's LOCATIONS/NEEDS

​

1.)  Received the ASSIGNMENT for your Summative Stagecraft Project (click HERE) and the RUBRIC (click HERE).  (This will be the rubric for your FINAL set designs & presentation.  Your final project is also your EXAM.)

​

2.)  Reviewed the process of scenic design.  

• Reminder:  The script doesn't tell you WHAT to build/design. Set design requires that you understand the needs of the script and can interpret the script in order to design what works best for the way the director/designer wants to tell the story.

​

3.)  Watched a video that reviewed the scenic design process, and learned about literal vs. figurative design. (watch 0:00-3:52)

​

4.) Completed the following:

• Finish reading/listening to your entire script and highlight scenic needs (if not already finished).

• When done reading:

  • List all the show's locations (in order) in Google Classroom - Assignment title:  Locations & Script Needs (Scenic Design Project) Complete TAB 1 ("LOCATIONS"). This assignment is simply listing all the different locations in your musical - follow all directions  at the top of Tab 1. (See Ms. Price's EXAMPLE in tab 3.)

  • Choose back-to-back scenes from your musical that you would like to design sets for.  You can NOT choose a scene that ends an act. (Highlight those back-to-back scenes in yellow; follow all directions  at the top of Tab 1 in the assignment described above.)

  • Indicate EVERY time that location appears in the show (Highlight that location in blue ever time it appears in the show; follow all directions at the top of Tab 1 in the assignment described above.)

  • Complete TAB 3 ("NEEEDS FOR YOUR LOCATIONS"). This assignment is simply to add your highlighted information for your chosen locations/scenes into one place so you can see all needs for that location.  Follow all directions at the top of Tab 3 in the assignment described above.

• The above assignment is DUE (and will be graded) by Wednesday, May 15.

​

​

Day 2:  Script NEEDS / EXPLORATION

​

1.)  Reviewed the ASSIGNMENT for your Summative Stagecraft Project (click HERE) and the RUBRIC (click HERE).  (This will be the rubric for your FINAL set designs & presentation.  Your final project is also your EXAM.)

​

2.) Watched a video about one designer's process.  (If absent, watch HERE.)  Discussed traits of a good designer, and what designers often research.

​

3.) Learned about the role of research in design, and the various things you can explore about your script/story that could give you inspiration for your OWN design.

​

4.) Reviewed the assignment from yesterday...see yesterday's schedule above.  (Remember, you must FIRST read/highlight entire script before working on your Locations/Needs assignment!) 

​

5.) Worked on an assignment in Google Classroom:  LOCATIONS & SCRIPT NEEDS (Scenic Design Project).  If absent, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS for this assignment at the top of Tabs 1 & 2.  Examples are given by Ms. Price for The Little Mermaid in Tab 2 & 3.  If absent, you MUST complete this assignment before next class so that you don't fall further behind in the process.

​

3.) Ms. Price met with each group to go over their script/scene NEEDS (for a grade).
