Fine Arts AAS
Deadlines
Fall Semester: February 1 - SlideRoom Fee (USD): $10
The Fine Arts portfolio submission consists of two parts: a short essay and original artwork. In the Fine Arts program, foundation classes in two and three-dimensional design, as well as general and life drawing, prepare students for immersion in painting, sculpture and printmaking. Students are encouraged to develop their perceptual and conceptual skills to become sophisticated visual thinkers. They gain experience with a wide range of materials and processes. This program exposes students to current art strategies and art history as a way to develop a rich visual vocabulary.
You will submit a short essay and a portfolio of 12 to 20 pieces of original artwork.
