Team projects in an art classroom really do work. At least they do in digital media.
Started fours year ago, digital media, one of the newest conservatories at the ever-expanding Orange County School of the Arts, is now seeing its first class of graduating seniors.
Digital media teacher Patrick Williams, who taught animation when he first came to OCSA, says digital media grew out of collaborations between the visual arts and film and television conservatories. Its intent is to remain flexible in order to address changes in the industry.
“Our students have a much more contemporary commercial art experience,” Williams said.
