Associate in Applied Arts Degree: Studio Arts
Associate in Applied Arts Degree: Studio Arts
Specialization: Photography (532.03)
The Studio Arts curriculum is designed to provide students with extensive studio experience in a variety of media, tools, and working methodologies; to establish within them a solid basis for critical thinking, discernment, and discrimination in the visual arts; to give them sufficient knowledge of art history as a foundation to visual literacy; to encourage them in the continuing investigation of contemporary trends in the studio arts as revealed through actual production and critical treatises; and to provide them with a background in general education that will complement and balance the studio concentration.
The Associate in Applied Arts degree in Studio Arts with a specialization in Photography is a skills oriented program with instruction in traditional and current technology. Students will prepare portfolios to transfer to four-year degree programs and/or begin careers in the photography industry.
Positions include commercial photographer, photojournalist, photo lab technician, photography sales and service representative, freelance photographer, fine arts photographer or introductory photography instructor at an arts center or museum.
Students are required to complete Student Assessment Program (placement) tests in reading, composition, and mathematics. The college has a required developmental program for students who need to remedy deficiencies in these areas. To meet minimum performance requirements in studio art courses, students must demonstrate visual acuity, manual dexterity (fine motor control), and the capacity to understand and follow instructions.
No prior training or experience is needed. Students who do have prior experience and/or a portfolio are encouraged to inquire about advanced placement and experiential course credit.
The Associate in Applied Arts degree program requires four semesters of full-time study. Associate in
