At LCC, students may select beginning and advanced courses in a variety or artistic
media, including design, drawing, ceramics, graphic design, painting and photography.
A solid base in studio art combined with art history provides the basic liberal arts
foundation essential for those interested in entering an art profession or transferring
to complete a bachelor’s degree in art.
