Digital Arts
The Foundation Academy Digital Arts Program’s primary focus is Adobe Photoshop. While our primary digital art tool is the computer, the class uses conventional methods in creation, such as color theory, texture, form, and shape. Merging traditional and modern means of creation inspires creativity and doesn’t limit our students in using their minds in the process.

Lower School (6)
The Lower School explores the power of the image in multimedia. Using HD cameras, microphones, and linear editing applications students are encouraged to be inspired by their surroundings. They are being taught to be conscious of their surroundings and not to see with just their eyes but to really observe. It is a great introduction to the world of digital arts.
Upper School (7-12)
Using MAC Workstations students are being encouraged to explore original concepts using conventional methods of creation such as sketching and drawing. From there they are learning how to take their creation and produce it in the digital world.
Our Tilden Campus has two MAC Labs used exclusively for the digital arts. It is set-up to encourage creativity, team work and collaborative learning all the while being creative.

Program Highlights
While creativity can’t be taught, a person’s uniqueness can be cultivated in unique and unforeseen ways to be expressed visually in ways others can enjoy. Having the tools and the skill to use them can be taught and that’s is the goal of our Digital Arts Program.
Apple History

Ironically students have very little prior knowledge of a world without computers and just what an impact it has had not only on our daily life but in particular the creative industries. So as a part of our Digitial Arts curriculum, students will learn the history of the computer and of one of the most iconic brands in the world, Apple.
