About This Program

Our Art and Design program will help you explore a range of media, increase your practice skills and sharpen your sense of design. You will learn basic visual skills, elements and principles of design, and specific characteristics of several media while gaining a broader perspective through art history and theory. Throughout the program, you will learn progressively advanced levels of drawing, and of black-and-white, color and three-dimensional design. In addition to a strong Liberal Arts core, this program also includes elective courses in ceramics, painting, graphic design and photographic imaging, all held in spacious, well-lit studios, plus hands-on activities like manual and computer-based techniques. Art and Design's cornerstone course, portfolio development, is where you will learn how to impressively showcase your work, which is necessary in order to transfer to a bachelor's degree program.
