ASSOCIATE IN ARTS IN STUDIO ARTS FOR TRANSFER
DEGREE
(MAJOR #
C.5203.AA-T)
The Associate in Arts in Studio Arts for Transfer Degree
is designed to give students basic skills in 2D and 3D
composition, an introductory level of knowledge of art history
and computer digital art familiarity. The primary focus is to
prepare students for transfer into, as well as to complete, a
Bachelors of Art degree program within the California State
University system. The secondary focus is to prepare students
to enter into the multiple career paths of visual communication
fields such as graphic design, architecture, web-based media,
animation, filmmaking, fine arts, and more. No other major
engages or encourages creativity as much as an art major. Art
and design permeate everything we see, hear, touch, wear, or
otherwise interact with. A creative professional thought up
the icons on your smartphone; designed the cut, color, and
texture of your clothing; created the label on your favorite
beverage; conceived of the characters in your favorite video
game; told an engaging story through film or animation; and
creatively solved a problem. With the exponential growth of
computer based social networks and other digital forms of
human exchange, artists and designers will continue to be
necessary and integral cultural producers, storytellers, and
creative problem solvers. Studio Arts graduates are qualified
for countless employment opportunities in the art, design,
entertainment and creative fields.

1. Apply knowledge of the elements and principles of
design to the description and/or production of artwork.
