Creative Media Track
The Creative Media track is designed to equip students with professional storytelling and visual communication skills through real-world media projects. Participants will explore how photography, video, drawing, printing, and collage can be combined to communicate compelling ideas and narratives, expanding capabilities in concept development and multimedia expression while working alongside creative peers. Led by experienced media professionals and NEIA faculty, students will produce their own media content using traditional and digital tools and methods that demonstrate their growing abilities in visual communication and personal voice. This dynamic program offers aspiring filmmakers, photographers, designers, and multimedia artists an immersive week of creative exploration and skill-building.
