Resources:
Stage Lighting for Students - This is a free online resource for teaching all about lighting by Jeffrey E Salzberg and Judy Kupferman. They have some great basic descriptions of the technology and art of stage lighting. There are also links to other resources. This is a great starting place if you don't know much about theatrical lighting or if you just want a beginning resource for your students.
Painting with Light - This is another free online resource by the Stage Lighting Store. I can't speak to how good it is, but it might be another good resource and starting point.
The Lighting Art: The Aesthetics of Stage Lighting Design - This book by Richard H Palmer is a very in depth book on all of the artistic aspects of lighting design. This book is very dense but it also has tons of great info.
