Art Option/General Studies Associate of Arts Degree (A.A.)

This program provides students with aesthetic awareness, perceptual and conceptual ability, technical skills and humanistic perspective necessary for a successful career in the visual arts. A broad foundation in various aspects of art prepares transfer students to move into an advanced art curriculum at a four-year institution. The program also provides non-art majors the opportunity to enrich their personal lifestyle in analytical skills and cultural knowledge while learning self expression through the visual arts. Experience is not necessary. Basic Design and Drawing I should be taken early in the program. Upon completion of these courses, students may specialize in either fine art or commercial art. Transferability: The students should become familiar with the program requirements of the transfer institution.
