The art curriculum is designed to enrich student learning in visual art and develop skills for expressing ideas through art. Historical and cultural perspectives regarding visual expression are explored in all art courses. Lecture courses in Art History and Understanding Art embrace the realm of human experience presented through art. The AAOT is a general transfer degree. To make the best use of your time at LBCC, you should identify the university you hope to attend and study that school’s art program requirements. You should plan your LBCC course work around the requirements of the university you plan to attend. The art department provides the opportunity for students to develop and refine their skills by offering studio classes in drawing, painting, ceramics, digital photography, compositional design, and three-dimensional design. Classes are open to all students. Some second-year classes have prerequisites. Studio classes may be repeated for credit if more experience is desired.

Ceramics courses are offered at the Benton Center where students may take two terms of ceramic studio courses, ART 154, and ART 254. For students interested in further study of ceramics, CWE and Special Projects courses are recommended. There are galleries for the exhibit of both student and professional art work.
