Creativity,
at the core of the arts, is encouraged.
At
the same time it is important to
be able to express this creativity in a skillful manner. The first
year of the Communication Art and Design program focuses on learning
the basic hand-to-eye skills through a series of drawing, painting,
and illustration courses while at the same time introducing the elements
of design, typography, editorial and advertising design.
The second year of the Communication Art and Design program focuses
on learning leading edge communication arts technology. Innovative
software programs that perform page layout, drawing, and animation
are an integral part of the working vocabulary. Students learn basic
computer skills and have the opportunity to expand that knowledge
by attending one semester beyond the normal two year track to earn
an AAS Degree. Students can choose to receive the traditional diploma
after two years.
