Costume Design

Catalog description

Introduction to costume design for the theater, including analysis of the script and the characters as well as research of modern and period costume. We will learn to use artists’ materials to draw and paint costume sketches, roughs and renderings. We will present our work to the class improving graphic communication skills and the art of collaboration. The final project will be to design a classic Shakespearean play in a “non-classic” way. Previous art training is not necessary, but an interest in the theater is. THIS COURSE IS APPROPRIATE FOR FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS. Offered once per year.
