Digital and Fine Arts

Our Fine Arts program exposes you to a range of artistic disciplines, from drawing and sculpture to computer graphics. Courses in art history provide perspective as you develop your own style and vision through studio classes and projects. The liberal arts component of the program matches the bachelor’s of fine arts curriculum taught at four-year institutions; three required core electives give you the breadth and depth to explore your interests while preparing you for transfer and study of a more specialized interest.

NCCC's Computer Graphics and Design program emphasizes a thorough grounding in traditional art skills at the same time that you’ll master modern techniques. You’ll learn basic concepts of graphic design while using the same hardware and software favored by professionals, mastering vector and raster-based drawing programs. This hands-on experience helps develop skills essential to producing multimedia, print and web-based designs. At the same time, though, you’ll also build hand-art expertise with courses in drawing and design, and gain a deeper appreciation for the classics with studies in art history - ensuring that your aesthetic grounding is as developed as your technical skills. Our students have participated in internships with Pixar and have transferred with full scholarships to four year institutions such as The School of Visual Arts in New York City.
