Undergraduate Fine Art at ArtCenter College of Design is an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Fine Arts program that encourages divergent ideas and methods. Students can choose studio courses from an array of mediums based on their personal interests -painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, video, photography, and performance art- and then engage with their cohort of peers in interdisciplinary seminar and critique classes each term. Students also receive a well-rounded perspective on contemporary art and history with an array of humanities classes. Students are mentored and taught by recognized artists and writers who are deeply engaged in the field, resulting in an intense work environment where concentrated artmaking is assured and respected.
Fundamental to our program are our studios and multiple galleries for exhibiting work. Our home, Los Angeles, is one of the world’s great art capitals. Closer still is the world class design school to which we are connected, with leading edge software, hardware technology and cutting-edge fabrication shops and research libraries.
