Visual Art & Design
Fashion: Maxwell offers a thorough fashion program that provides students with practical training in the techniques, skills, and terminology of Fashion Design and Accessories, covering the entire journey from concept to conception. Students can work alongside industry professionals. Students create garments following experience level and assign themes to participate in fashion shows, exhibits, as well as various parades in NYC. Through their time in the program, they visit museums for archival fashion exhibitions, volunteer in fabric recycling centers, and intern with community designers or the schools’ design lab. Communications Media: Our comprehensive 2-year graphic design program immerses students in photography, illustration/drawing, and social media management. The curriculum culminates with students taking the Adobe Photoshop certification exam at the end of the 10th grade and the Adobe Premier Pro at the end of the 11th grade, validating their proficiency by receiving these industry-recognized certifications. Graduates emerge as versatile, industry-ready professionals equipped for the competitive field of graphic design.
