Assignment #4: Research Boards

Create research boards for either costumes or the set(s) for your production.

Research boards may be in one of the following formats:

Word doc submitted via dropbox
Pinterest or some other online design site (i.e. MIRO)

Additionally, one picture must be a piece of classical artwork OR a MEME (not necessarily from the time period of your play) that conveys the mood your play strives to create. State the mood you feel the artwork conveys. This artwork may not be something you have drawn nor a photo you've taken. Ask yourself: Does this picture remind me of the play? Does it feel like the play? What is that feeling: confusion? anger? harmony? love?

Print suggestions for photos of costumes or set
