Associate in Fine Arts

Fine Arts Studies

Program

The Fine Arts degree provides students who may not be interested in transferring to a baccalaureate program, with a solid foundation in the visual arts. Strong emphasis is given to the development of artistic skills and production of various types of two and three-dimensional, digital and traditional fine art, while building a strong foundation in art history, reading and writing. Students will explore a variety of fine arts production methods and studio techniques. Upon graduation, students will have developed a portfolio and the skills to display at the professional level; this may lead them to exhibition opportunities or to an entry-level position in the field of art. 

For information, contact department chair, Dr. Augustine Nigro, at (609)343-5022 or anigro@atlanticcape.edu.

  • Analyze in speech, reading and writing, works of art, including one’s own, using terminology appropriate to form, function, and principles and elements of art;
