Presenting Worlds Through Themed Entertainment

 

This week's presenter is Dr. Chelsea Bruner who has been a close collaborator in the development of this course. Dr. Bruner is both a licensed designer and a design historian. Recently she has been focused on design process for themed entertainment and is a key figure in the Entertainment Design faculty. Chelsea will be here to help you develop your themed pavilion as a means to representing an imagined world.

Dr. Bruner has prepared two parts of a presentation for you to see before coming to class. ]You are required to watch these presentations which provide important background for Tuesday's class. I have linked these presentations and a few other resources to the Activity Page for this week. 

She has also provided a few question for your thinking about representing worlds which have been added to the questionnaire and are also on the Activity Page.
