CAVAD Pre-College Summer Academies
CAVAD Summer Academies at CBU provides a unique opportunity for students to be exposed to architecture, design, and art fields in a hands-on manner. During CAVAD summer academies, students will work directly with CBU faculty and use the same professional tools as used in the industry. Throughout the week, students will produce a product in a studio environment, just as a collegiate student would at CBU.
CAVAD Summer Academies offers 5 different academies:
- Architecture
- Photography
- Film
- Graphic Design
- Fine Art
Architecture Summer Academy
The CBU Architecture Summer Academy introduces young people to careers in architecture and design disciplines. The summer enrichment program gives students a chance to explore architecture and design studies, work on architectural problems, and learn from CBU faculty. The academy is designed for freshmen through seniors in high school to help them explore the field of architecture as well as learn more about CBU. Follow us on instagram @cbuarch.
Photography Summer Academy
CAVAD Photography Summer Academy puts the camera in the student’s hand from day one. The academy walks students through a full process, using professional equipment. The student explores various photographic techniques and lighting, and explores numerous post-processing techniques using the computer and professional software. Students will walk away with a highly sophisticated understanding of the camera and the processes that photographers work through on a daily basis.
Film Summer Academy
Come and use the same RED Cameras that your favorite movies are made with in Hollywood. The film summer academy takes students through the ideation, scripting, filming, and production of a short film – all in a week’s time. If you have extensive or no experience, we will be able to walk you through the process in order to make a film – like you see to the right. This film was the 2017 CAVAD Film Summer Academy product!
Graphic Design Summer Academy
CBU Graphic Design Summer Academy introduces students to a range of media production from graphic design to motion graphics. Utilizing the professional tools and software, students will be lead through a studio based camp where they will produce their own designs, animate them, apply them to merchandising, and screen print them on a shirt.
