  • Associate of Applied Arts Degree: Studio Arts

The fine arts are the heart of the culture of our world. Students learn the discipline and pleasure of drawing, photography, and design. They learn the history of world art, and develop their own ways of expressing thoughts and feelings through making art.

Students will be prepared for entry into the field of fine arts. Positions include practicing fine artist, freelance artist, illustrator, commercial framer or art supply service representative, gallery representative, instructor or assistant instructor at art centers or galleries or entry-level museum professional.
