Overview

The Certificate Programs in Artisanry and Fine Arts are designed to engage the following students:

• second degree art/design students wishing to pursue additional studio experience as an adjunct to their prior arts education,
• art/design professionals wanting to retrain, augment, or update their skills and creative directions,
• second career students with personally gained skills in Artisanry or Fine Arts but little or no previous formal arts education,
• art educators who wish to return to a learning environment and develop their skills in Artisanry or Fine Arts.

The certificate is also appropriate for students without a bachelor's degree. It provides not only coursework in art theory and practice but also a foundation in art history and literature or composition.

It is expected that students who complete the Certificate Program will have gained mastery of specific technical skills, knowledge of current trends and various historical precedents, and a direction for future work, and acquaintance with the professional paths available to them.
