Media Arts at TA–
The Intersection of Art & Industry
The Media Arts at Thornton Academy recognizes the unique niche that digital media plays in both the arts and the business world. It is an art that can stand alone, such as in Digital Photography, Graphic Design, and Movie Making.
The Digital world is also an art space that supports other aspects of a much larger business world, such as advertising, web marketing, social media design, the gaming world, illustration, and art direction, just to name a few.
