Sceno-graphic Techniques
Sceno-graphic Techniques by Wilford Oren Parker, published by SIU Press in 1987, is a comprehensive resource that spans 150 pages. This edition presents a detailed exploration of the drafting techniques, descriptive geometry, engineering drawing, and graphics of perspective essential for planning and executing theatrical settings.
Readers will find that the book is structured into three logical parts. “The Language of Lines” focuses on the unique drafting techniques, conventions, and symbols used in theatre, while “Graphic Solutions” addresses the graphic problem-solving necessary for creating the often irregular forms found in contemporary scene design. Lastly, “Perspective in the Theatre” examines both the two-dimensional perspective of the designer’s sketch and the three-dimensional perspective needed for achieving an illusion or stylistic concept. This work serves as a valuable guide for those interested in design, graphic arts, and stagecraft.
