Technical Drawing for Stage Design explains the importance of drawing in the design process; revealing how the initial two-dimensional drawing is a crucial building block in creating the scale model that in turn will develop into the stage set - that will transport the audience into another world. Topics covered include: introducing the tools and equipment used by the designer; developing confidence in freehand sketching; drawing to aid the creative thought process; communicate design ideas and help with the construction process; scenic elements and the related terminology; the architecture of the theatre - and how to draw it. Aimed at drama students and teachers; technical drawing students; amateur dramatics groups and theatre workshop organisers; Technical Drawing for Stage Design offers an attractive and practical manual on the subject. Well illustrated with approximately 120 black and white images.

Most of them are quite useless.I am an artist and designer and enjoy teaching my 10yo son to draw; so I thought this would be fun. As I scanned through it; I was pleasantly surprised. This is an exceptional example of beginning lessons for kids. The subject matter is very simple; but yet advanced. I believe this would be best suited for kids around 6-10ish (guessing here). The author gives simple step-by-step illustrations for people; pets and more including wheelchairs and walkers.If your child isnt handicapped; it also can be utilized as a wonderful teaching platform in how many of us have differences; but just the same on the inside. Ive been adamant on teaching full equality to my son. that God made each of us perfect in every way; regardless how society thinks we "should" look... Its absolutely tragic seeing how the media has molded the populations views on physical perfection. It has left generations of angry; bitter; depressed individuals full of low self confidence!Rarely do I leave such a review; but seeing how the author offered this book for free shows me what compassion she has. Thank you for that Kaylea. I hope you always leave it free so others can see how special you are.I definitely will be purchasing other books of hers...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I love the concept. Great photos.By Alex SBy helping kids learn actions like hopping and smiles; this author takes them through learning to draw basic characters. It is designed so the more independent learner can learn on their own; or those who need more help can be guided by adults.Best of all; the story tellers are those who have special needs like wheelchairs.The age range will vary; depending on how much interaction is provided; but I would suggest at least kindergarten.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
