Welcome to DATA Charter School!
Students who attend Digital Arts Academy are given an opportunity to explore the world of digital arts and technology and engage with classmates in expressing their ideas.
Students will learn and be exposed to theater in its many forms, including traditional masked theatre, puppetry, voice acting, improvisation and scripted acting, as well as public speaking skills.
Students will learn the foundations of Design Theory and graphic techniques applied to Architecture, Graphic Design and Art, and then refine those skills in areas such as residential design and product design.
We instruct students on the development of storytelling via the process of creating the illusion of motion through various animation mediums, including 3D modeling. Students will utilize modeling and animation software to create animated videos.
Computers have become an indispensable part of everyday life, which is why we believe understanding the science of how they are built and operate is important. These classes prepare students for computer maintenance and IT roles.
