So the question is “How do you define what we ‘do’ as Professional Scenic Artists?
I’d love it if your answer could be ‘tweet style’ : 240 characters or less (but to be honest I’m not counting.)
We are a solution to a problem. Be it fine finishes or paint spattered about, it’s up to us to figure out how to do whatever needs to be done.
The definition I give to students: “My job is to work alongside the TD to turn the designer’s vision into reality; whether that means with paint, textures, carving, & what-nots; all while trying to stay with-in the budgets of time & money.
What doesn’t fit into the “240 characters” are: years of art history, fine art techniques, basic chemistry, product knowledge, safety training, and the magic wand to make paint stick to anything, except for that one thing that wants to change in front of a live audience”
My two snarky answers:
1. My job isn’t accomplished by magic, elves or a computer.
2. I paint and get paid for it.
….but no one likes snarky answers, really.
