Program Overview

The Art Department program at College Of The Canyons provides students with introductory courses in the fine arts. The current program offers both studio and lecture sections, the majority are transferable to University Of California, California State University as well as most private art colleges in the nation. The College Of The Canyons catalog reflects California State University’s lower division requirements for a BA at the freshman and sophomore levels. The art program provides a wide range of skills. Studio courses at the beginning and intermediate levels include: beginning drawing, life drawing, 2-D design, 3-D design, sculpture, two levels of printmaking, painting, watercolour painting, landscape painting and illustration. Art appreciation and art history courses survey the development of art from the Paleolithic period to the present. In addition to developing critical and creative skills, art students have many opportunities to get involved in contemporary art culture. As part of the regular program, students will do many of the following activities: visit local art exhibitions, artists’ studios, private collections and art libraries; gain experience at review writing. The art gallery provides a program of up to five exhibitions a year. While our exhibition schedule represents diversity in culture and style, it also parallels the curriculum of the fine and applied arts departments. The gallery serves as an instructional tool for all visual arts courses, the college at largeindicating relationships with other academic departments and the community
