The series is designed to bring together those in the educational profession and members of the broader community of educational stakeholders for dialogue and personal and professional growth, as well as provide the opportunity to engage with current technologies and strategies for teaching.

9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
George Fox University
Newberg Campus
Cost: $425
(Optional: up to 3 graduate credits available for additional fee)
Geared toward high school teachers and staff, this course is designed to deepen your understanding of scenic design for theatre. We will examine the types and functions of scenery for live performance; explore design styles and how they apply to theatre; and experiment with conceptual approaches to stage environments.
Through a series of hands-on exercises and projects we will apply techniques and processes designed to give you the tools you need to flesh out your creative ideas. We will cover the basics of model building, drafting, perspective drawing, Photoshop and color rendering. We will identify common challenges for inexperienced designers, and walk through the design process from conceptualization to implementation.
Participants have the option to take the five-day course for two graduate-level semester credits. A third credit is also available for work related to a production at a home school or theatre. An additional fee of $100 per credit hour is required.
