The Importance of Being Earnest!

For my Introductory Specialist Techniques module, I will be exploring themes based on the play 'The Importance of Being Earnest' by Oscar Wilde. Here I have begun to document my research and collate visual research in the form of a mood board and also adding sketched initial ideas.

Initial Research for 'The Importance of Being Earnest'

For this theatre-based assignment, the exploration of design and realisation of stage plans and model box is a clear introduction into production design. A scale model task was a starting point into exploring these themes and techniques. Therefore I have produced a 1:25 scale model, that consists of two wallpapered walls, tiled flooring, a detail door and dado, coving, a framed painting, and also a scaled figure. All of which is reflective of 19th century interior, which is when the play was set.
