One of my high school juniors is considering a career as either a scenic artist or as a scenic designer. They are an excellent artist and haven't decided yet which direction they want to go.
My advice is to get a BFA at a school with a lot of hands on opportunities to do scenic painting and design. Opportunities to find work off campus in the local theater community are a plus. Then decide later on designer vs artists (hopefully developing both skills in the process for more opportunities to work).
What schools do you recommend for scenic arts and set design with lots of hands on opportunities?
Thanks!
