(MAJOR #C.5203.AA-T)
The Associate in Arts in Studio Arts for Transfer Degree is designed to give students basic skills in 2D and 3D composition, an introductory level of knowledge of art history and computer digital art familiarity. The primary focus is to prepare students for transfer into, as well as to complete, a Bachelor of Art degree program within the California State University system. The secondary focus is to prepare students to enter into the multiple career paths of visual communication fields such as graphic design, architecture, web-based media, animation, filmmaking, fine arts, and more.
No other major engages or encourages creativity as much as an art major. Art and design permeate everything we see, hear, touch, wear, or otherwise interact with. A creative professional thought up the icons on your smartphone; designed the cut, color, and texture of your clothing; created the label on your favorite beverage; conceived of the characters in your favorite video game; told an engaging story through film or animation; and creatively solved a problem. With the exponential growth of computer, based social networks and other digital forms of human exchange, artists and designers will continue to be necessary and integral cultural producers, storytellers, and creative problem solvers. Studio Arts graduates are qualified for countless employment opportunities in the art, design, entertainment and creative fields.
