To prepare you for this world, STAC’s Visual Art program includes foundational courses in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, digital media, art history and printmaking, as well as electives based on your personal or career interests. Internships with approved arts organizations are available and encouraged so you can gain hands-on experience and add to your portfolio and resume. Past students have exhibited their work in STAC’s own Azarian-McCullough Art Gallery. Your visual art degree can be used in careers in community center programs, museums, art galleries, schools, art therapy settings, fashion, merchandising, film and TV, and advertising.
