Ewonus, Jared KimballThe purpose of this thesis is to document the process in creating the scenic design for the productions of Puccini's La Boheme and Mozart's Idomeneo, which opened April 12th, 2013, by the University of Maryland - College Park, School of Music. This thesis contains the following documentation: research images which contribute to the intellectual design and visually communicate ideas of texture, color, scale, and mood; preliminary sketches; photographs of the 1⁄4" scale models, used to express the scenic design in a three dimensional format; a complete drafting package and paint elevations used to communicate the look of each scenic element to respective shop heads; a unit list which gives detailed information on each design element; the props list which details the construction and purpose of each type of props; the props book which visually supports the information in the props and unit list; and archival production photographs to document the completed design.ThesisTheaterDesignJake EwonusMozartPucciniSceneryScenic Design
