The A.S. in Fine Arts: Studio Arts degree prepares the graduate to enter the workplace or transfer to art school or four-year institutions to pursue degrees in such areas as graphic design, photography, computer graphics, fine arts, communication design, illustration, environmental design, interior design, architecture, art therapy, and art education.
The visual arts program begins with a thorough foundation in drawing, design, and historical survey with additional study available in a variety of media.
An integral part of the curriculum is involvement with the Weeks Gallery, a major component of the Community Cultural Center at Jamestown Community College. Students are encouraged to participate in gallery operations and events and to utilize the gallery's permanent collection which includes over 300 works on the Jamestown and Olean campuses. Travel to other galleries and art centers in western New York and beyond is also important.
Students wishing to take art courses for enjoyment rather than preparing for a career in art are also encouraged to enroll in JCC’s fine arts curriculum.
