Art
The Associate of Arts in Art is designed for creative students who want to explore, develop, and strengthen their artistic voice while preparing to transfer to a four-year college or university. Whether you are passionate about drawing, painting, design, or digital media, this program helps you build both technical skills and creative confidence in a supportive studio environment.
Students gain hands-on experience through studio courses that encourage experimentation, creativity, and portfolio development. Along the way, you’ll learn how to communicate ideas visually, think critically about art and culture, and develop the foundational skills needed for continued study in fine arts, graphic design, illustration, art education, and other creative careers.
With guidance from faculty members and academic advisors, students can shape a path that fits their artistic interests and transfer goals, turning creativity into opportunity.
Start here. Build your foundation. Transfer with confidence.
