The first book to bring together the drafting techniques, descriptive geometry, engineering drawing, and graphics of perspective needed to plan and execute a setting for the theatre.
Parker presents these elements in a logical three-part format. The Language of Lines offers a study of drafting techniques, conventions, and symbols peculiar to the theatre; Graphic Solutions deals with the graphic problem-solving often needed to draw and make the frequent irregular forms of present-day scene design; and Perspective in the Theatre treats the two-dimensional perspective of the designers sketch and the three-dimensional perspective required for an illusion or stylistic concept.
