Set Designing – Exercises to Respond to Text – Experimental Drawing

By Artist and Designer Rachel Thompson

This workshop is designed to encourage teenage participants to think about the meaning of words and phrases, the imagery and themes they evoke and to express their interpretations through drawing. These exercises could be used to generate ideas for a project on set designing.
