Program Outline
Degree Overview:
Northampton's Fine Art Program is a transfer degree meant to parallel the first two years of a bachelor's degree. The program provides students with a thorough introduction to the basic areas of study in the visual arts.
Careers:
A career in art is not limited to being a painter of canvases which get framed and sold in a gallery. Behind every piece of art in a newspaper, magazine, book, poster, brochure, website or display piece, there's usually a commercial artist or a team of artists. Those interested in truly trying to make a career in one of the fine arts fields know that art is everywhere - from computer animation to film and TV stage sets. If art students truly apply themselves, they can pursue their passion not just in work created to hang in museums, but also in teaching art, art history or photography.
