Hello world! My name is Chloe. I am 22, slightly on the artsy side, and I actually make money doing what I love. This is a new adventure for me, I have never thought about creating a blog, and its slightly scary. But I hope y'all ( I am slightly southern too) enjoy some insight I will be providing into a world that really does not get seen. The life of a Scenic Artist. According to Wikipedia (blah) A charge artist (or charge scenic artist and also head scenic artist) leads and oversees the painting of stage, film or television scenery. In the United States such individuals are typically members of the United Scenic Artists union.
The charge artist's responsibilities include methods of reproduction of color, texture, preparation and aging of all surfaces.
The charge artist interprets the scenic designer's technical drawings and paint elevations, and with a crew of journeymen scenic artists, brings them to life on the actual scenery.
The charge artist is also responsible for the budgeting of the finished sets along with the production designer and the art director. So there, quick breakdown of what we do. It's the an amazing world to be apart of and I am just getting started! So cheers Y'all! You'll be hearing from me soon!
