THE 2 YEAR VISUAL ARTS PLAN:

CCC gives you a well rounded education in the visual arts and an impressive portfolio and resume to take to a four-year college when you transfer in the fine arts or the graphic arts.  At CCC, we prepare and teach you how to think starting with the ideas founded by the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations.  Then we take you into and through the Renaissance to broaden your understanding of how to think critically and visually.  At CCC, we embrace “professionalism” and “ensemble” to create the most avant-garde art of any community college art program.
