PVA Media Arts
THE CENTRE FOR PERFORMING ARTS AT CENTRAL MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL
Media Arts Program Overview
PVA Media Arts offers a three-year, comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to media creation that fosters individual exploration and innovative thinking. PVA MA is designed to provide students the flexibility to adapt to various situations relating to design and communication. Possible areas of study within the PVA MA program include: Film/Video Production, Architectural Design, Animation, Graphic Design, Mechanical CAD, Photography and Website Development.
Through the PVA MA program, students will learn to grow and apply their strategic, creative and technical skills. They will also learn how to strategize, plan, organize and manage different aspects of development and production in these different industries. Because real world experience can be instrumental to your career success you will engage in independent productions throughout your three years as well as possible internship opportunities as they arise.
PVA MA consists of a common first year where students build the foundational skills necessary to pursue their area of interest. Beginning in the second year (grade 11), students will have an individual course plan developed based on their area of specialization. This plan will be a combination of existing courses related to their field of interest, mixed with in-depth learning experiences, which may be led by guests from the profession.
Leadership in the Arts 35 / Entrepreneurial Artist
All PVA students are enrolled in one of two courses; Leadership in the Arts 35 / Entrepreneurial Artist. These programs of study allow PVA students to explore how they see themselves as artists and become more aware of the process involved in preparing for the marketing and business aspect of being a professional in the arts community.
Students will experience a variety of teacher-led assignments/activities as well as a number of student-directed online projects.
