About the Area of Study
Study and courses in Art can help you develop an appreciation for the visual arts as well as to expand your expertise and understanding in this field. You will study art theory and history, and work directly with a given medium in a studio environment in coursework such as Design, Drawing, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Weaving, and Sculpture.

If you plan to transfer to a four-year school, you should become aware of the requirements for the freshman and sophomore years at the selected school. Also of great importance will be building a portfolio that represents all of your work prior to transfer. Students who complete this program will receive an Associate in Arts degree. Courses are open to all students.
