The Essential Art Department

We can help guide you through one of the most industry demanding collaborative departments, the Art and Design department. Entertainment creation, inspiration and resources at your fingertips, taught by industry professionals passionate about their work. 

Only $415 (+ applicable taxes & fees) for an intensive (6) weeks of instruction and interaction. That is only $69.00 per week, for a college level course designed for young professionals, students of varied age levels or any individual just wanting to brush up on industry knowledge.  

This is your intensive (6) week course into the exciting and creative world of designing for themed entertainment and experiences. This course will help familiarize you with the production design process and how it works with other departments to help tell a story and immerse guests in an experience. You will have access to downloadable handouts, live webinars, online classroom activities, access to network building skills and many more resources to help you navigate a rewarding career within a Creative/Art department.

Through this course, students will better understand the process behind production design and the creative process for themed experiences. Students will become familiar with the themed entertainment industry and learn how the immersive experiences they visit derived from story and design intent.

Additionally, students will learn how they can use their skills and apply them toward a successful career within the entertainment industry.

Each course will have a (6) week schedule that will be available to you week by week. At the beginning of each week, you will have access to the entire course content for that week, and you will be able to navigate it at your own pace. Yes! That's right, we said at your own pace. 

During your (6) week course session, take your time and learn at your own pace. We know life gets in the way sometimes, and by allowing students to access the resources and course content ahead of time and without time pressures, it is our thinking that it should allow for more volume of quality questions to brought up at the end. 

We want Any and All questions! Don't be shy, we are here for YOU!

During each week, there will be a live, instructor led, Let's Talk! Series where we will go over all the content for the week, look at assignments that may have been turned in and the instructors will be answering your questions, in real-time.

The content from the week stays accessible to you the student for a year, so you will always have the opportunity to go back to prior weeks to review information or download handouts as needed. 

It is our hope that the course content will inspire you to dive into this crazy industry, and become an Essential part of any creative department. We expect you to have fun while taking the course, because even though it is packed with information and resources, you should still be enjoying every moment of it! 

Taught by industry professionals you will be given rare insight into the inner workings of some of the most famous Entertainment projects around town. And you will get to hear some amazing, funny, sad and true stories from behind the scenes as well!

T.E.A.D., while teaching this coursework virtually because of the current state of the world due to the current pandemic, is hoping that in the near future, the coursework will continue with a dual approach to learning, through virtual based as well as in-person, hands-on experiential learning.
