Description
The mission of the Metropolitan Community College Art Program is to develop students'
visual literacy and awareness that art is practiced in a variety of forms within different
cultures. Our curriculum provides students with a strong foundation in the research,
interpretive and technical skills needed to make and study meaningful works of art
while preparing them for continued practice in their field or for articulation to
a Bachelors Degree program.
Our program gives your talent a great place to flourish, with our small, personal
classes, low cost and many opportunities to explore all kinds of artistic expression.
Drawing, ceramics, jewelry, photography, painting and even printmaking are elective
options that help you earn an associate's degree.
