Scenic Painting

These are from an Intro to Theatre Technology course where students rotate through 2 design areas of their choice. In this project, the students spend three 2 hour sessions practicing various techniques such as scumble, directional wet blend, spatter, and stamping to paint a brick, stone, wood, and marble texture.

3D Modeling

These are same student works from a course on 3D modeling and rendering. This course took place during COVID and so for this project, students were to create a 3D environment based on a scene from a musical number. Still images were then pulled from the models to be used a virtual backgrounds for a virtual musical theatre cabaret performance. The environments were created either in Maya or Vectorworks.

3D rendered environment of the inside of a cathedral. We are looking up the aisle toward the narthex. There are dark grey stone walls and floors, wooden pews, and flowers line the aisles.

3D rendered environment of a Dr. Seuss exterior. There are green hills with trees that look like pastel cotton balls and a sessuan building in the distance.

3D rendered environment of a 1940s newspaper office. There are wood floors and wainscoting on the walls. Newspapers hand on the walls. Light from the window spills onto the floor. We can see out the door into the bull pin of the newspaper press room.

3D rendered environment of a church. We are looking out at the congregation from an elevated plane. There are stone walls, wooden pews, and stained glass windows behind the altar.
