SUNCOAST POLYTECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL CAREER ACADEMIES

Students at SPHS have the opportunity starting in the freshman year to participate in specialized programming related to a variety of career interests.

ANIMATION, GAMING & SIMULATION

This program is designed to prepare the student for entry into a career in visual art at either a computer game development studio or a feature film studio. The goal of the curriculum is to teach students the fundamentals of art and design, and help them build a digital portfolio of their work for submission to the college of their choice. Using 21st century technology, students will explore drawing, painting, and sculpting techniques for the purposes of character and environment design, as well as complex concepts in game design and interactive media. Students who successfully complete this program will be well-prepared candidates for colleges that can teach them to become 3D modelers, texture artists, environment artists, animators, level designers, concept artists, visual artists and art directors.
