Art
Most passionate artists shudder at the thought of
working a 9 to 5 routine desk job. Artists seek to
explore, discover, and create. Through their visual
media, whether it is drawing, painting, sculpting,
or making pottery, artists communicate their ideas
and philosophies for the entire world to see. But is it
only the lucky ones who make it big by selling their
work? No! Art is everywhere. So that means that
artists are everywhere.
Good artists are needed in virtually every aspect of
a business. Their creativity is what companies look
for in an employee. Artists also create paintings and sculptures, which may be put on display in
museums for all to appreciate, or purchased by businesses or private collectors.
Sheridan College boasts a thriving artistic student population. The on-campus art galleries are
fi lled with not only student art, but art from SC alumni and faculty, as well as local and regional
artists. Our Art faculty understand the students’ needs and create a comfortable and encouraging
learning environment, while providing students with hands-on learning
opportunities that challenge them to excel.
Courses range from Introduction to Drawing to Advanced Pottery. Students
involved in the program also learn about Art History and Criticism. Associate
of Arts and Science degrees and the Associate of Fine Arts Degree (pending
approval) are designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution.
With the knowledge and skills learned in the Art program at Sheridan College,
students can transfer credits earned toward a Bachelor’s degree program, and
will have the confi dence in their own abilities to do so. Our students will also
have the entry level skills needed for many career choices.
