The mission of the Visual Art program is to equip graduates with the creative skills essential to prepare them to transfer in to a four-year program or to maintain their own studio practice. By providing students with experience in a range of art media and instructional methods, the program lays a broad foundation in studio production. The program emphasizes autonomy, knowledge of the diversity of art worldwide, and creative problem solving skills conducive not only to the making of art but also to lifelong learning. This description aligns with the institutional mission of student empowerment and creative enrichment.
