The Visual Art Foundation Program introduces concepts of creativity using design, drawing, painting, and ceramic manipulating techniques to explore the visual basics of the design elements: line, shape, space, texture, value, color, and mass. This coursework is a stepping stone that ensures a student will be provided the fundamental building blocks of art endeavors, enabling them to pursue a four-year degree and beyond in the arts. Students completing the Art Foundation courses with their portfolios often receive scholarships to pursue their area of choice while gaining entry nationwide into a four-year program at a third-year level. These same students have gone on as teachers, professors, interior designers, architects, graphic designers, animators, jewelers, ceramic artists, painters, sculptors, and photographers. Graduates have also included arts administrators, art historians, and art therapists. The fundamentals of the Visual Art Foundation are crucial to success in the arts.
