Students begin the program by learning the fundamentals: realism-based drawing, design concepts, value, form, color and composition, and develop a unique style and direction. The program encourages personal interpretation, exploration in numerous media while building technical expertise and professionalism. Students are taught to market their work and promote their talent. The resulting portfolio or body of work is exhibited in the Academy's spacious galleries. All courses are taught by a faculty of successful, practicing artists who inspire student's individual vision and nurture their technical mastery. The fine art buildings have become an epicenter for both contemporary and traditional training in the development of AA, BFA and MFA fine artists.
The Associate of Arts requires completion of 66 semester units. Visit the School of Fine Art to see degree requirements.
