The Associate of Arts in Art offers you an interdisciplinary approach to the visual arts. This two-year foundation introduces you to techniques, methods and concepts common to the creative disciplines. It aims to develop your visual literacy and encourage your artistic perception.
Through this introduction to a variety of ideas and techniques, with materials in design, drawing, computers and photography, you'll learn to appreciate the complexity of the creative process and learn to articulate your personal aesthetic. You'll investigate the differences between wet and dry media, additive and subtractive processes, two- and three-dimensional forms, and the relationship between ideas and materials. You'll also explore formal concerns such as line, shape, color, value, texture, scale and composition.
