Media Arts Department

The Media Arts Department aims to instill in students a lifelong appreciation for and critical understanding of all aspects of the media arts through instruction in media literacy, journalism, photography, digital-moviemaking and digital animation.  The curriculum provides a strong foundation in critical analysis of the media and skills in traditional media, as well as ample opportunities to explore new media forms and techniques. Students are encouraged to seek connections with other art forms as important sources of inspiration and critical understanding of their creative work. Additionally, the program introduces students to career options available in the field of media arts, provides portfolio development, and offers opportunities for students to exhibit work both within the EHS community and in venues at the regional and national level. Members of the Media Arts Department are committed to creating an environment that encourages students to take creative risks, to think independently, to solve problems and to develop greater awareness of their cultural environment and their power to express themselves within it.
