DAY 2:

1.)  Discussed our "going remote" plan - what's expected in Stagecraft if we have to go remote.

  • As is true with any other class/teacher, go to HAIKU (my website is linked there) OR you can go directly to my website (kristaprice.com) and click on Stagecraft from the Educator drop-down menu.

  • I will post the week's self-directed learning on my website each Friday for the FOLLOWING week.  (This gives you a full week to complete the assigned learning/tasks.)

  • You must "come to class" via Zoom during your assigned class period.  (My Zoom info is on Haiku)

    • Day 1 of the week will be a very quick check-in. 

    • Day 2 of the week will be a full class in which you share assigned projects and learning with the class.

    • Note:  You MUST have all of your learning experiences for the week COMPLETE by Friday's Zoom class.  

2.)  Watched a video (Costume Design in The Lion King) and responded in Google Classroom REFLECTION JOURNAL - week 11 (Journal Title:  Costumes in the Lion King) about other areas of design that must be considered by costume designers - beyond just clothing.

3.) Watched a video (Make-up for the Stage: Old Age

4.) Practiced creating "old age" faces with theatre make-up.  (If absent or quarantined, you do not need to do this.)
