APPLIED ARTS COURSES FOR DESIGN & PRODUCTION PRIMES
Artists hone their foundation by employing the technical skills of a particular art or field of endeavor. These courses are Prime specific, or recommended for your prime and are designed to strengthen your skillset and/or build your portfolio. Students should focus their Applied Arts choices in their prime arts area, but may explore outside of their prime in some cases.
CHOOSING COURSES
Applied Arts courses are offered one day per week on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays. Be mindful of the length of the courses you are interested in. Most courses are scheduled for the full trimester, however, there are some that meet for only half of the trimester. In those cases, it's recommended you sign up for both half-trimester courses. You are welcome to sign up for classes on Tuesdays or Thursdays, but be mindful of the dates courses are offered so you do not choose classes that are offered at the same time.

All PVA Design & Production students in Years 1, 2, and 3 are required to be enrolled in the weekly D&P Lab and to accrue a minimum number of hours in mentored instruction by the end of the 2021-2022 school year. This is in conjunction with GCC (grade 9, mandatory), Applied Arts Classes (optional) and Projects (optional). This is for D&P Primes only.
Design & Production student/mentor pairings as well as lab location (Annapolis HS or Studio 39) will be matched by Mrs. Rothschild. Lab is on Thursdays during the Extended Day timeframe.
