Art & Art History

"The Art Department affords a unique experience for students seeking a solid foundation in aesthetics, skill development, and understanding of the forms and history of art. The program has been designed to offer a continuity of study through structured courses in the academic tradition. The goal of the program is to support each student in the search for a personal form, the development of the capabilities to express that form, and an appreciation of art as a means of understanding the world."

"Since 1998, the Digital Art & Animation Program at Cañada College has been committed to providing both the academic and training skills necessary to succeed in the design industry, whether in graphic design, web design, photography, 3D animation and video game art, or video game development and design. Classes are hands-on, where students learn design fundamentals as well as develop a professional portfolio that takes them to the next step; either transfer to a 4-year institution or employment in their field of choice."

"The Theatre Arts, Visual Arts, Music and Dance Departments provide opportunities for students to discover and develop their theoretical, analytical, and critical thinking skills, in a beautiful and creative environment."
