Ground Plan

Bird's-eye View

A ground plan of a set design is a bird's-eye view of the set. A bird's-eye view is a perspective from above or at a distance. Think of standing on top of a place and looking down at it. A ground plan is used to help the director, performers, and technicians know the exact locations of furniture, walls, windows, doors, and other scenic elements.

In this assignment, you will sketch a birds-eye view of a place you love. It could be a room, a library, or even a classroom. It's your choice!
