The
art program provides students two major foci: one is understanding and
appreciating the cultural heritage of art; the second is developing
skills in the studio arts of drawing, painting, printmaking, design and
sculpture. The
art program offers a wide range of studio-skills courses at beginning
and intermediate levels. Appreciation
and history courses survey the development of art from the Paleolithic
Period to the present, with a special focus on contemporary American
artists. In
addition to developing critical and creative skills, art students have
many opportunities to get involved in contemporary art culture.
As part of the regular program, students will do many of the
following activities: visit local exhibitions, artists’ studios,
private collections and art libraries; gain assistance for transfer to
four-year colleges and art institutions; prepare professional
portfolios and obtain skills for personal appreciation.
