      "markdown": "The A.A. Degree in Art Studio focuses on both the meaning and form of art. By actively creating works of art in a wide range of disciplines, including drawing, painting, photography, digital graphics, printmaking, sculpture and ceramics, the student develops the techniques, visual sensibility, and historical understanding necessary for developing a personal artistic vision. An emphasis on portfolio presentation and exhibition preparedness along with a wide selection of intermediate courses in each discipline equips students with the knowledge and skills required for vocational opportunities and for successful junior level transfer to universities, colleges, and art academies.\n\n**Learning Outcome(s):**\n\n1.  Creatively apply the visual elements and principles of Design to art forms. Elements of Design: Line, Shape, Value, Texture, Color, Mass, Space, Time and Motion. Principles of Design: Balance, Proportion, Dominance/Emphasis, Harmony/Repetition, Movement, Economy, Variety/Contrast.\n2.  Integrate form and content at the appropriate undergraduate level.\n3.  Demonstrate technical skill and creativity in manipulating 2D and 3D media.\n4.  Articulate concepts and processes of art at the college level, including command of basic art vocabulary.\n5.  Create a physical and digital portfolio which includes a finished body of art works and professional written documentation.\n6.  Assess professional artistic career and transfer options."
