Liberal Arts with an option in Art and Design

The A.A. Art program provides students with both a broadbased liberal arts education and a strong foundation in the visual arts. Art students learn technical skills and the basic principles of drawing, design, and color. Students may also elect courses in painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, art history, and an introduction to computer graphics. Students develop competency in studio arts, an appreciation of the role of visual art in society, and an understanding of the works of past and present major artists. This transfer program is designed for students interested in a career in the arts but not necessarily as working artists. Many career opportunities in the arts require a broad liberal arts education along with studio competency. Some of these professions include: art conservation, museum studies, and curatorial studies.
