Visual Arts

---

The Art Department at JJC offers students the opportunity to learn both the foundation courses of visual art and art history, as well as enroll in media-specific courses, including painting, figure drawing, ceramics, jewelry making and metalsmithing, graphic design, computer art, and photography.

What Will I Learn?

This program will prepare students to create a portfolio allowing them to transfer to a four year university art program.

What is Unique About Our Visual Arts Program?

We have fully equipped studios in painting, design, ceramics, metals, interior design and graphic design. Our small student-to-teacher ratio in the studio courses offers hands on learning opportunities from our faculty of professional artists sharing their craft with students. We have a state of the art 2,055 sq. foot gallery, where there are visiting artist exhibitions as well as the opportunity for visual art students to exhibit their work. We offer work study opportunities for visual art students in their area of interest. We also arrange portfolio reviews from transfer schools.
