An online resource for Scenic Art students, graduates and professionals

Month: January 2017 (Page 1 of 3)

Welcome!

Welcome to the Scenic Art Resource!

This is an online resource aimed at scenic art students, graduates and professionals. The purpose of this resource is to provide you with support as you move through your studies and transition into the professional world.

The objective is that you use the resource as a student and when you graduate if you ever needed, video tutorials, blank costing sheets, price lists, tax help etc. then this becomes your one stop shop for all things scenic art!

Just now the resource is in its test phase, based around the marbling class you are taking part in. You will find some of the areas are unpopulated just now but the headings are there to let you see what this resource could hold. The pages that are populated are all related to the marbling class, so they will hold the relevant information for your class.

Don’t worry! I’ll be asking for your feedback about what you like and what could be better, so keep that in mind as you explore the resource.

The pages that are populated just now are:
