Description:

Visual Arts teaches both traditional art functions and digital art.  Course offerings include drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, printmaking, digital art, graphic design, web design and photography. Our student population takes courses for a variety of reasons, including vocational preparation, continuing education and degree requirements. The program is active in community outreach through the local high schools and vocational advisory committees.

Highlights:

The Digital Arts program and facility are strong and offer vocational oriented certificates in a state-of-the-art computer lab. With a vital connection to industry via vocational advisory committees the course offerings are relevant and enable students to acquire entry-level positions. The Photography program is aggressively moving into the digital realm to meet the demand of the student population as well as industry needs. The combination of having both a Digital Arts program and a Fine Arts program has made the students multi skilled and has increased interest in both areas due to the students moving back and forth between the programs. The students soon become aware that there is more to making art on the computer then learning the software programs. This knowledge fuels their desire for continuing their art education at a four-year college.
