Sticks and Stones by Christian Arrecis

These unique works (including photograms, rubbings, impressions, embossed paper, photographs and drawings) represent the artist's continued interest in the natural world as well as a search for the unintended and accidental in his own art-making.
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.
