THEA 270Introduction to Lighting Design

3 credits · Theatre · Penn State

THEA 270 Introduction to Lighting Design (3) will focus on helping each student to develop a design process that takes them from script to stage. Students will study each step of the lighting design process and use these steps to create the design for a fictional production. Students will also have the opportunity to hone their design skills with a series of practical projects that will allow them to experiment with intangible qualities of light. This class will use a traditional proscenium presentation for the development of these techniques.
