 * 2010-2011**
 * Fine Arts PLT Goals**
 * To gain training on new technology in lighting and sound to enable us to run classes and better train students in the technical aspects of the arts.
 * Creation of system by which lighting can be taught complying with safety concerns for students.

The technology involved is both hardware and software--new lighting and sound boards. The initial lighting session was completed in August. Further training is available on the web at //etcconnect.com// for the lighting board. We would assess the suitability of that training for the students and design, where appropriate assessment techniques for same. Mini sytems need to be created in order for students to handle the instruments safely.

Sound session TBA based on the vicissitudes of scheduling this particular year. (2010-2011).

This spring we finally had an in-depth introduction to the sound system installed in the what we call the Arts Area* with Steve Sogge of Parkland Audio. I can't remember the exact words, but the most sonically erudite amongst us, Justin Rindal, was impressed by the capabilites of the system. There is a significant level of playing that we need to do in order to understand the system in parctical use --guitar or muscial theatre come to mind.
 * Reflection**

Reviewing the //etc.connnect// material showed that it would be quite useful for students as an educational vehicle for training on the lighting board. Some of our time was spent coping with systems that we were not sure were working to capacity. Finally. to this end a technical theatre presentation prezi has been in development to provide a reference for all things technical in the dramatic arts.

A team accomplishment for Arts people would be in the area of understanding some of the broader scope of the technical demandds of the the Drama/Musical Theater curricula, so one can approach those demands with greater equanmity. Understanding of the technology will serve Guitar as well.

 * <span style="color: #d9d9d9; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">We had success with the material as we were able. Lighting challenges related to the fire have not been completely been resolved, however the online educational support is meaningful for both staff and students. To some extent, our goals were limited in that some members were committed to other PLT’s as well. ||
