Program Description
The Associate of Arts in Fine Arts program at Vermont State University offers a foundation in a variety of artistic disciplines, including drawing, painting, media arts, art history and sculpture.
The program offers a strongly humanistic course of study in the arts. Through creative inquiry, complex problem-solving, organizational skills and diverse methods of expression, students in the Fine Arts program will become immersed in a community of innovative artists.
Through studio experiments, students will learn to sharpen their senses of perception. Creating artwork means distilling observations, ideas, and dreams into a physical form. Along the way, the materials, technologies, and methods students use will challenge them to make complex decisions and come up with original solutions.
