Scene Painting was taught as a three-week immersive in-person Fall 2020. I adjusted assignments and methods to keep students socially distant. They created wings to learn about color mixing and symmetry, Woodgrain, Granite, Marble, and Trompe L’oeil. For the final I took a drapery elevation and split it into quadrants. They worked in groups putting their flats together to compare notes on cohesion, but still being able to paint apart from one another. Of my 12 students, I had one theatre major and one art major. Everyone else was learning something brand new.
