Identify materials used for scenic construction.

Identification should include

  • choices of building materials
  • choices of hardware
  • anchoring and bracing techniques
  • portability considerations
  • flame-proofing considerations
  • special considerations for usage (e.g., trapdoors, special effects, smoke and mirrors).

Process/Skill Questions:

  • Why would you use a different type of lumber in scenic construction as opposed to residential construction?
  • Why would you use canvas instead of sheet rock for walls?
  • What examples of scenic construction are not temporary?
  • How do portability and storage needs affect construction?
