ART STUDIES (ASP) (HEGIS 5610.00)
The Art Studies program is designed for students who are interested in transferring to a baccalaureate institution in order to pursue an interest in art. Students will study foundations courses in studio art and art history. The program also includes at least 30 credits to allow students to fulfill all 10 of SUNY’s General Education requirements. Articulations exist to facilitate student transfer into Art Education programs.
The Associate in Science (A.S.) degree is awarded upon completion of the requirements for this program.
Upon successful completion of the ASP program the student will:
- Explore possible transfer options to four-year colleges and universities as well as possible career opportunities in the field of art.
- Create an Artist’s Portfolio containing samples of their art work at DCC for review by transfer institutions.
- Satisfy all ten of the SUNY General Education course requirements prior to transfer to a four-year institution.
- Create basic drawing, two-dimensional and three-dimensional art projects that incorporate research, visual idea development, and communication of visual concepts and schemes including structure, form, space, composition, line, color, balance, perspective, and synthesis.
- Analyze their own and others’ art work in terms of description, comparison, and evaluation of design elements, principles, methods, goals, content, meaning, relevance, and voice.
- Explore one or more art areas of choice, including graphic design, ceramics, photography, calligraphy, and mixed media.
