In Video Art II, students learn about composition, lighting, and sound design while studying the work of contemporary, experimental video artists. Students will ultimately conceptualize and execute individual projects that can be based in either animation or live-action video.

Optional Second Elective as Pass/Fail: The typical course load is six classes. In the 8-9 division, students may opt to take a second elective (in visual arts, performing arts, or computer science) in lieu of a study hall. This is a good option for students who are exceptionally organized and tend to manage their time well; it is not a good option for students with busy extracurricular schedules or who struggle with time management and organization. The seventh class does not count as a graduation requirement. It will not appear on students’ transcripts, and it must be taken as Pass/Fail.
