We are especially proud of our 3-dimensional program and facilities. The very large 3-dimensional studio accommodates ceramics and sculpture classes. Ceramic students learn a variety of hand-building methods as well as learning to throw on both electric and kick wheels. The department has two large electric kilns and one large gas kiln as well as the means to do raku firings. Sculpture students are exposed to a variety of materials and methods, including bronze casting.
Students are able to continue their work in ceramics and paintings through special advanced courses.
Art History and our many Art Appreciation classes meet in this space. Newly installed audio-visual equipment allows full use of our large video library and huge slide collection. The Art Department offers traditional day and evening classes as well as a Saturday Art Appreciation. Printmaking, Art Metals, and Museum Studies- which meet on Fridays. They bring a wealth of backgrounds, approaches, and interests to their courses, but the one constant is their dedication to the community college student.
