The Creative Arts

Students in the Creative Arts Academy explore careers in the Creative Arts and learn to be Creative in designing and pursuing their careers. Coursework teaches students how to understand works of art and produce their own using text, images, movement and sounds. Students will learn to read critically, interpret analytically, communicate effectively, and produce messages for both meaning and persuasion. Any field involving art, music, film, radio, video, television, theater, literature, journalism, or photography requires an understanding of effective communication. 

Because some careers favor a broad background and others demand specialization, the Media Literacy courses will cover diverse areas. A student may create a program of courses spanning several areas, all relevant to a particular career area, or he/she may choose to explore one specific area in depth.
