Scenic Design Second Section: Choose one scene from the play that you will design scenery for (if your play has scene changes, you will only need to design one scene). For the assignment, you will need:
- A paragraph or two describing your vision for the scene, including specific references from the script.
- At least 20 pictures of research for this scene, with a short description of each picture (one or two sentences will be fine). Make sure to pay attention to the time period of the play.
- Do NOT use pictures from other productions of your play, your research needs to be your own original research.

Scenic Design Third (final) Section: You will be building a 3 dimensional model (a white model) out of card stock and foam board. These materials will be available for use in class. We will also have scenic design templates (that will be available on Canvas) that you can use for your design, should you so choose.
