Program Description
We welcome students with interests in ceramics, photography, painting, and more! Students at Hinds can complete artwork in our classroom studios and find inspiration in our recurring art exhibits in the Marie Hull Art Gallery where even our students’ work is often featured. Our dedicated art faculty provide instruction in art theory and help strengthen students’ art skills in studio, lab, and darkroom settings. Art majors can complete an Associate of Arts in two years and then transfer their coursework to a four-year institution to complete their Bachelor of Art or of Fine Art.
At Hinds, exploring coursework in the fine arts and in media arts will allow a student to enhance current art skills, build further art interests, and settle on a direction for a professional art career. Students majoring in art have a wide range of job opportunities upon degree completion. They may become floral designers, art directors, museum curators, professional photographers, art instructors, just to name a few.
At Hinds, our art students will complete typical general education courses, such as English, history, social sciences, and more while exploring the arts. The arts coursework, such as Drawing, Ceramics, Sculpture, Computer Art, Three-Dimensional Design, and others, will set a student’s foundation for upper-level art experiences upon transfer to a bachelor’s program.
