 Return to: Fine Arts and Media Technology Degrees, Certificates and Awards
The A.A. in Studio Arts prepares individuals to generally function as creative artists in visual media. Includes instruction in the traditional fine arts media (drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking,) and/or modern media (ceramics, textiles, intermedia, photography, digital images), theory of art, color theory, composition and perspective, anatomy, the techniques and procedures for maintaining equipment and managing a studio, and art portfolio marketing. The Studio Arts A.A. degree provides transfer preparation for students interested in pursuing further education in Studio Arts or Fine Arts. While a baccalaureate or higher degree is recommended, earning the associate degree would demonstrate achievement and will support entrepreneurial students in starting their own creative careers and art related work.
