I spent the last two weeks of the last semester working on my final for set design. I have never worked so hard on a project! I finally took pictures of my project! We had to design and build a 3/8 inch scale model set for the play Midsummer Night's Dream. We were given the concept of butterflies and had to incorporate the concept without actually putting butterflies on our set.
HerIe is the palace. Obviously there would be black masking curtains masking the parts of the stage we don't want to see yet and the top of the stage is where the two gray panels on the side end. It is very symmetrical like butterflies!
My army man in scale would be about 5 foot. These chairs aren't very well done but it was 3 o'clock in the morning and I just wanted to get it done!
Here is the forest scene. There are two main branches that go opposite directions with moss hanging down to create "butterfly wings."
I carved bricks from modeling paste.
I carved a platform and staircase out of floral foam and covered them with moss.
I used branches for the trees and glued crafty, mossy, messy stuff on them.
I carved a sofa for Titanya's "lair" and covered it with more moss.
I even glued moss on rocks.
I made a place for people to hide in the root system.

Well, there you go! This is what being a theatre major is all about! Craftiness!
