Studio Art

The Studio Art Program provides students with a strong studio experience that integrates conceptual and technical artistic skills with personal and creative exploration. We offer exceptional studio art courses in the foundation areas of drawing, painting, design, sculpture and art history. Our additional areas of expertise are in Ceramics, Art Education, Gallery Technology, Murals and Community Art, and Photography. Upon completing the program, students will be prepared to continue a personal, creative journey or transfer to a four-year institution for further study. Transfer students are urged to consult a counselor and Art faculty to learn more about admission requirements to four-year institutions.

Learning Outcome(s):

1. Analyze and describe the historical and contemporary implications of art in terms of aesthetics, content and meaning.
2. Demonstrate and articulate social, political, and community issues as they relate to art.
3. Students will create artworks using a variety of two and three dimensional art media, tools and equipment applying the elements and principles of design: line, value, shape, form, texture, balance, color theory, harmony, and composition while employing safety standards.
