PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Art+Design program offers students an Associate of Arts degree and
preparation to transfer with junior status to a B.A. or B.F.A. Art or Design
program. This program prepares students with an intensive, hands-on,
studio-based curriculum that stresses the development of art-making skills
and critical thinking. Classes are taught by professional, exhibiting artists
who have expertise in their disciplines. This program also provides the
community with the opportunity to study for personal enrichment.
The Photography Track is designed to train students in a broad range of
photographic applications, including traditional black and white and color
photography, digital photography, and studio lighting, with an emphasis
on technical fundamentals and the development of a personal artistic
vision. This track prepares students for continued study in B.A. or B.F.A.
programs at four-year institutions, or for a career in various commercial
fields of photography.
PROGRAM GOALS
Upon completion of the Associate of Arts in Art+Design degree students
will be able to:
1. Create works with proper use of design elements.
2. Create works with a demonstrated proficiency in the use of
materials, tools, techniques, and processes.
3. Clearly communicate and demonstrate critical thinking to
articulate ideas in visual, verbal, and written forms.
4. Create work that shows the clear evolution of concept
development.
5. Successfully transfer to a four-year institution.
TRANSFER INFORMATION
Students should be aware that each transfer institution has unique
curricular requirements. To facilitate transfer, students should consult with
an academic advisor early in their studies at HCC and before selecting
elective courses.
EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION
Approximately 588,000 Americans work in the art and design industries.
News and commercial photographers are likely to face keen competition.
Areas such as Internet publications, portrait photography, law
enforcement, and scientific and medical research photography should offer
the best opportunities.
