Description:
The Art: Drawing and Painting Certificate of Achievement involves the study and manipulation of the elements and dynamics of art such as line, shape, form, value, color, texture, space and composition. Students will study the various problems and potentials of drawing and painting. They will explore themes and in-depth problem-solving, individual expression and experimentation with media, methods and materials. Techniques such as sight-measuring, rendering, gesture drawing, color mixing, glazing, scraping, canvas stretching and surface preparation are covered in this course of study, as are linear perspective and an introduction to the work of many artists throughout art history.
The Fine Arts Certificates of Achievement are designed to provide a broad-based education. Students earning the Certificate of Achievement in Painting & Drawing can set up their own studios and sell their work in art galleries or may work as freelance illustrators. The certificate program gives a basis for possible internships and paid apprenticeships as a studio assistant, or for work in a museum, gallery or design firm setting. It also prepares students for entry-level positions working as an art supply salesperson, framing technician or art gallery assistant. Those pursuing careers in teaching at the elementary or secondary school level will enhance their abilities to teach art by completing this certificate.
Students earning certificates could be prepared for employment in a variety of entry-level positions, as mentioned above. Generally speaking, the average rates of pay are relatively low at the entry level, although rates of pay and availability of such jobs vary. Individuals wishing to pursue freelance careers need to be able to combine the regular practice of creative skills with self-promotion and good business practices. A bachelor's or master's degree in art or art history is required for most career positions in museums and galleries.
Individuals pursuing careers in teaching at the elementary school level will enhance their abilities to teach art by completing this certificate.
