CT Arts High School with amazing new facility seeks widely experienced full-time ‘digital arts’ teacher:

My son’s New Haven CT Arts Magnet High School is seeking a full time teacher for this fall to teach ALL aspects of creating art with computers.The school began in 1982 and teaches the visual arts, music, dance, theatre and creative writing. The current visual arts curriculum is 95% natural medium-based which include classes held in Yale art museums. They also have basic Photoshop and movie making classes. The State of CT just passed a new law which should allow the State of CT Dept of Education to supply a permit allowing the chosen applicant who has a non-specific bachelors degree and 3 years professional or teaching experience in the arts to teach full time without a State of CT teaching certificate. (NOTE: this law is so new that the specifics are not all available nor definite, but with the new school year approaching quickly, I posted the permit info anyway.) Though the school has found some very talented prospects, the biggest obstacle they’ve faced is finding a widely experienced & talented professional WHO CAN TEACH! The goal is to find someone with loads of talent, who wants to teach and prepare students for both digital art colleges as well as share their experience with the school to fine tune the curriculum for what students would need to gain internships & jobs following graduation in a wide range of jobs: from graphic & web design, video game concept art to 2D animation & 3D modeling / animation, to VFX work. The applicant must show profiency in the major progams found on job postings such as: Photoshop, Flash, Maya, and definitely use of a Wacom tablet. Knowledge of other programs such as After Effects, Z-Brush, XSI a plus.

THE PERKS: Foremost is an environment of great kids willing to learn! Then, there is the STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL, BRAND NEW FACILITY designed by famous architect Cesar Pelli. See it at: http://www.pcparch.com/#/projects/ed…ties-high-sch/. This facility cost over 57 million dollars and occupies an entire block in the center of the bustling downtown theatre district of New Haven CT… in the midst of Yale, the broadway Shubert Theatre, hundreds of amazing restaurants, the beautiful downtown green, nearby ocean beaches, and New York City is about an hour and a half by car or train. Also, it’s exciting that the school is looking to establish internships and a strong visiting artist series. In addition, Connecticut recently had a few years of busy major filmaking, which should return when the economy recovers. And the applicant could stay involved with ‘professional side-projects’ as their schedule allows. Possibly the best of all during this economy is that the school is well established so someone seeking a job could gain secure, long term employment and should be very happy here!
