Overview

From becoming an entrepreneur and selling your work, to teaching or to being the art director of an art gallery, a degree in fine arts lets you use your creativity and imagination to achieve your dreams.

The art program at Cochise College has been designed with three goals in mind: (1) as a source of personal growth and self-expression, (2) to fulfill general education requirements for associate or baccalaureate degrees, and (3) to successfully transfer credit to four-year institutions.

To ensure seamless transfer, students must develop their specific program of study in close coordination with a Cochise College advisor.

Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully complete this program will be able to do the following:

  • Demonstrate proficiency in both 2D and 3D media and processes to facilitate effective visual communication and personal expression.
  • Apply critical thinking skills, the creative process, and aesthetic/perceptual literacy to solve visual, technical and conceptual problems in various media.
  • Identify and understand the social, cultural, historical, and contemporary contexts that influence the creation and interpretation of art.
  • Use the critique process to analyze and evaluate art and develop portfolios for transfer, career development, and/or personal enrichment.
