2013-2014 Academy Term

2. Film: The Digital Filmmaking program allows students the opportunity to work with a professional filmmaker to learn the start-to-finish pro-
cess of creating a short film. Classes will include instruction on operating the equipment, creating storylines, how to edit footage, and more. Class
offerings vary each semester.
Music: Our Music program is comprised of basic music classes,
private instrumental and voice lessons, and classes designed for
musical theatre. Students at all levels are taught necessary music
concepts as well as performance skills. With our state-of-the-art
music technology lab, opportunities for music cutting, mixing, and
editing are now also available.
Homeschool Arts Program: For homeschool
families looking to add fine arts to their curriculum, Blackbird offers
blocks of daytime classes that include music, creative writing, and
visual arts. Students may take one or all classes in a block. Classes
are currently available for Pre-K-8th grade.
Theatre: The Theatre program at Blackbird starts with
age seven by introducing students to basic acting concepts
and helping them find their voices. As students progress,
the focus shifts to include more memorization, character
development, and they are given more opportunities to bring
their craft to the stage.
Visual Arts: Visual art classes at Blackbird begin with preschool
and elementary ages, with each class providing a strong foundation in
basic drawing, painting, and multi-media skills. Classes such as Intro to
Drawing, Watercolor, Intro to 3-D Art and Painting Basics are offered to
intermediate students and adults.
Experience quality arts education in Conway!

environment.
