First of all what does a scenic artist do ? Every play must have scenery which must be designed and painted. That is the work of the scenic artist. Then in addition she must know how to build the sets, tell the carpenters how to prop stage rocks, and how to build them so that they can be packed for transportation. The scenic artist must know how to make models to scale, how flats are put together in addition to knowing which colors light best over the footlights; which are warm and cold; which colors get the best effects for certain plays. She must also know a great deal about stage furniture. When she knows all that, she is only really beginning. (English)
