About Year One Foundation Program - Transfer to Bachelor of Arts - Art and Design (Optional Co-op)
Why study this program?
The BFA degree program encourages students to develop their personal creativity and teaches them multiple possibilities of expressing aesthetic, theoretical and cultural issues in their visual representations. Students can specialize in painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, or study a combination of these four disciplines. Courses in the history of art, design, and visual culture complement studio programs and provide a lively intellectual cross-fertilization of theory and practice.
Students will develop their ability to use their technical, formal, and critical thinking skills to explore contemporary issues through visual art. They'll also learn to see the world more clearly while they build their drawing and painting skills; investigate video, installation, and public art; learn traditional printmaking techniques and combine them with the latest digital technologies; or sculpt with welded steel, clay, plaster, and anything else they can imagine. Courses in the history of art, design, and visual culture complement studio programs and provide a lively intellectual cross-fertilization of theory and practice.
Students must submit a portfolio to meet the academic requirements to be offered a spot in the program.
