Studio Art

Overview

Studio Art offers students a strong foundation in the two-dimensional arts of drawing, painting, design and color. It is a transfer path into art school or university and/or professional training for artists. CSM's 2D Art program is recognized as a leader in figure drawing, which is the core study for animators. Students may receive either an AA in General Studio Art or an AA-T degree in Studio Art (CSM Catalog). Graduates from CSM's Studio Art program successfully transfer into majors such as fine art, animation, design, art therapy, museum studies, and teaching and/or become exhibiting artists.

All of CSM’s studio art instructors are professional artists and recognized experts in their chosen media.
