Home About Us Programs Admissions Support Students/Parents News & Accolades Contact Us More Visual Design Overview Where your story begins is not where it ends. LVA is a bridge to the art world and beyond. LVA art students seek college education and majors in very diverse subject matter. Students have graduated to seek medical degrees, engineering degrees, architecture degrees, science degrees and yes, art degrees. LVA has worked with Junior and Senior level students through AP Studio Art coursework that harnesses a student’s ability to create, edit, process, experiment, revise and synthesize visual design projects. Students do not only make art, they are originators of unique concepts, they are visual activists and use their energy to change their world. Students have earned full-ride scholarships at The Cooper Union and School of Visual Arts NY. Students have been invited to attend RISD, MICA, Pratt, Parsons, UNLV, SFAI, Otis, CalArts, and many other 4 year colleges and universities with substantial scholarships. There is no one path that all students are mandated to walk at LVA. The LVA Way empowers each student with the resources to find and develop their identity, finetune their interest and turn their education into a passion that will lead into a career. Graduates of LVA have built careers in local government, entertainment, business, medical fields, education and, of course, the arts. LVA graduates have become designers, web developers and art teachers. Jennifer Main is a prominent working artist that graduated from LVA in Visual Design. Students are introduced and guided to mastery of traditional art media, new media, technology, lens-based arts, and time-based art forms through their chosen art major. This is a unique approach found only at magnet art programs like LVA’s. LVA offers majors in Film, Graphic Design, Photography, Sculpture and 2D Visual Design. Additionally, the humanities courses required at LVA also enhance a student’s ability to think, reason and be inspired by diverse stories in our local, state, national and worldwide histories. Program Curriculum The LVA curriculum is built similar to a college level art studio practice. Students are guided through a Foundation year of black & white media and mixed media exploration that establishes a core skill set with an introduction to drawing and painting techniques, art history, aesthetics and critical analysis. Second year further develops a knowledge base of color media in oil paint, color pencil, art history and concepts with mixed media experimentation quickly becoming mastery. Third year begins to emphasize the voice of the individual by further exploration of gouache paint, intaglio printmaking, oil paint, chalk pastel, oil pastel, history and using pivotal art movements as a stepping stone to creating art projects based on personal concepts for the AP Drawing portfolio. Fourth year is a senior thesis guided by art activism and the AP 2D Design curriculum. Projects begin during the summer months by developing a narrative and ideas focused on art as social activism. The senior year braids together the LVA experience and guides students through the college application process that begins early in the fall. Students are encouraged to tour colleges, attend national portfolio day events, interview with admission counselors to discuss portfolio and admission requirements for college entry. The fourth year curriculum includes silkscreen printmaking, advanced oil paint techniques, acrylic paint techniques, and combining the previous experienced media to empower experimental mixed media to create their senior AP 2D Design portfolios. This process has helped many students not only earn entry to some of the most prestigious art programs across the country, but to also be offered high level scholarships and full tuition based on the quality of their artwork. Students are empowered through their academic and creative education to harness their talents, develop their skills and to focus their energy on goals they have envisioned for their future. Visual Arts is a demanding Conservatory within the Las Vegas Academy that has guided students to create their future, and in turn, has helped many students earn many rewards. Program Accolades The Las Vegas Academy Visual Design Program has been recognized for its achievements in National and International adjudications, including: Scholastic Gold Key - multiple winners yearly Scholastic National Gold Key Scholastic Silver Key - multiple winners yearly Scholastic National Silver Key Congressional Awards - multiple winners yearly CCSD VOICE - multiple winners yearly Showgirl Legacy Foundation Art Contest - multiple winners yearly Program Outcome The college level approach at LVA results in students being able to draw, paint, sculpt, photograph, record and edit, click and drag and design with expert level outcomes. Most importantly, The LVA Way extends well beyond the classroom. Students are taught skills that transcend the canvas. Visual problem solving, creative thinking, creating, storytelling and visual communication can be applied to many, if not all the situations that students will encounter when they graduate. Students regularly participate in critiques; students discuss their own work and their peers work in constructive ways which helps students develop the ability to speak in public. This ability to clearly, constructively and relevantly communicate is a skill that many students have returned to express gratitude for during spring and summer breaks.

Dance Overview The Dance Conservatory is a progressive, creative and technical training program that prepares students to pursue dance in college, professional dance careers, or other life paths supported by the arts. We focus on creating young artists who know their own voice and have a strong grasp of the current dance environment. The Dance Department is designed to enhance technique and to develop strong artists who have a specific point of view. Students are challenged to build their own work as well as train in a variety of rigorous techniques presented by our diverse faculty and a community of guest professionals. Performance skills are built through creating and presenting ensemble works in concert three times a year from a multitude of different choreographers, as well as two auditioned original full-length shows. The program’s blend of dancers coming from all different teachers and training across the valley provides our young artists the opportunity to investigate their craft in a continually evolving, immersive, and cutting-edge environment. Program Curriculum The Dance Department fully covers Contemporary, Composition, Jazz, Ballet, Graham, Horton, and Post-Modern styles of dance. Students are placed in one of our eight levels of major block classes based on their maturity, commitment, discipline, artistry and technique. Our levels begin with Technique and Theory 1B and advance to Elements II dance technique class. Instructors place a high priority on building an ensemble in these classrooms, which enables students to build artistry and self-esteem through being a part of a collective group with a common focus. In addition to daily major block classes, each dance student is placed in at least one elective course that meets every other day. All Freshmen are placed in Ballet, Intro to Modern, or the Male Elective. Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors audition for the elective(s) of their choice including Contemporary, Ballet, Intermediate or Advanced Modern, Intermediate or Advanced Jazz, Choreography and Ballroom. This option provides students the opportunity to focus on specific areas of need or interest as they progress through the program. Program Outcome The Dance Conservatory aims to prepare students to pursue dance in college, professional dance careers - or to simply enter the world as well-rounded creative thinkers with a strong work ethic and ability to work on a team. Many students go on with scholarships to 4-year prestigious dance college programs, while others become teachers in studios, performing arts high schools, and colleges across the country. Some go on to create dance companies of their own. Other students, who choose not to pursue a dance career, enter the general workforce with a multitude of skills: prepared to think outside of the box to solve problems, find the beauty in any situation, and live life as their art piece. Program Accolades The Dance Department boasts many alumni working as professional dancers. We have graduates in the Batsheva dance company, Body Traffic dance company, Lion King National Tour, Cirque du Soleil, two winners, and several contestants on So You Think You Can Dance, as well as many cruise ships and commercial dancers touring. Each September the Department hosts a college audition on campus, where colleges recruit students to attend their universities, as well as give out scholarships to outstanding students. All seniors are welcome to participate in the audition for the invited 10-15 colleges. We have students who have pursued dance at programs including Julliard, USC, NYU, Marymount Manhattan College, SUNY Purchase, Point Park University, California Institute of the Arts, Chapman University, John Hopkins University, Hart Conservatory, and Southern Methodist University, among many others.
