Program Description
The Art and Design Fundamentals program will nurture students' artistic talents, and develop their creative, practical and entrepreneurial skills in visual art and design — whatever their level of expertise.
Practicing artists and designers, who will help students to gain competencies in traditional, digital and multimedia, will deliver the studio-based, hands-on Art and Design Fundamentals curriculum. The program's goal is to help students prepare a portfolio of artwork required for admission to specialized programs and to open up new possibilities and career choices in the diverse visual arts industry.
In this art program, students will:
- Get hands-on exposure to drawing, design, colour, 3D modelling and design, visual culture, video making, digital illustration, photography and rapid prototyping.
- Build a comprehensive portfolio of artwork while working one-on-one with faculty.
Once students complete the program, they will be prepared to succeed in a variety of post-secondary communication arts and design diploma and degree program areas including animation, game art, digital visual effects, product design, industrial design, architecture, interior design, fashion design, illustration, graphic design, digital media art, art direction, art management, creative advertising and fine arts.
