THRT 4323 - Advanced Lighting Design

The Advanced Lighting Design course continues the exploration of the design process through the examination of conceptual and technical requirements of various genres and styles of productions. The student will explore in greater detail the textual analysis, historical and cultural research, documentation and budgetary constrains from completing multiple lighting design projects. This is achieved through the student’s effective use of the terminology, instrumentation, equipment, and software programs such as Vectorworks and Lightwright. To support the student’s ability to recognize and describe the characteristics and qualities of light, students create lighting journals that document their skills in this area. Students will complete a research paper that compares and contrasts the design aesthetics of two lighting designers of their choice. The projects, paper and journals from this course will be compiled so that they may be effective portfolio pieces that promote their talents. Prerequisite(s): THRT 3413, THRT 3543 and THRT 2743 with a minimum grade of “B” and junior or senior standing.
