Full Description
An authoritative guide to modelmaking for theater
This third edition of noted scenographer Darwin Reid Payne's landmark text builds upon Payne's theories and exercises to provide a modern exploration of the practice of theatrical modelmaking. With chapters on traditional and contemporary materials, tools, and techniques, the book serves as a foundational guide to understanding the historical, theoretical, and practical aspects of scenographic modelmaking, making it essential for the beginner, generalist, and professional design practitioner.
The volume begins with a brief history of the scenographic model and explores how modelmaking has adapted to changes in materials, technology, and commercial influences over time. It details setting up a safe, productive model-building studio before introducing the types and purposes of various scenographic models. It then instructs the reader in constructing common model elements and accessories. Later chapters explore how the models reveal stage space and create mood and atmosphere through tonal shading and lighting; discuss the use of found objects, collage techniques, and projection models in scenic design; and delve into 3D printing and computer routering. The final chapter provides information on various aspects of photography and image sharing related to design and production communication.
This comprehensive text provides information not just from theater but also from other modeling disciplines and sources, including architecture, film, dioramas, dollhouse modeling, and model railroading. A useful resource for high school, community college, university, and community theater enthusiasts, it is an excellent reference book for theater designers throughout the country.
