We are a vital, interactive, student-centered, discipline based program. We are committed to the creative and technical aspects of art making, critical thinking and idea development. We welcome students of all levels of ability and experience. Artists and non-artists can express themselves, learn, grow, experiment and explore in a supportive and academic atmosphere. Take classes for college credit or just for fun! Our students and alumni have successully transferred into other Colorado schools such as C.U., Naropa and U.N.C.; been accepted to top art schools including Parsons and R.I.S.D.; exhibited locally and nationally; won regional, national and international awards and are represented in commercial galleries and in private, corporate, and museum collections. Beginning and continuing students who do not need to transfer credit can take painting and drawing classes without the prerequisite 2D Design course. Have Camille Rendal or the instructor sign you in! For our non-credit courses click here: COMMUNITY LEARNING. | ||

Our Mission | ||
| | |
In addition to and including the 5 purposes outlined in the College Strategic Plan, the Art Department in particular seeks to:
1) expose students to a wide variety of art making experiences and possibilites.
2) foster creativity and individual growth as an artist in three areas: technical skill, artistic voice and content, understanding of basic artistic principles.
3) bring art making and understanding of creative thinking, problem solving and methodology to students who are both artists and non-artists.
4) understand that in art there are many opposing ideas that are both possible and correct so we seek to embrace the diverse talents and strengths of the students and staff.
5) provide a secure and welcoming environment for both students and staff. | ||

Students | ||||||
| | | | | | |
Students range in age from late teens to early eighties and can take classes for credit or not.
The Art Faculty, in conjunction with Student Services, reaches out to work with the abilities of students who have special needs of any kind, in their learning career. Because the process of creating art is holistic, and art has many ways to express ideas, the student with a unique mode of learning may look forward to finding an inspiring class within the art studio. | ||

STUDENT COMMENTS: I took Drawing and 2D Design. I finished up with the Multimedia Technology degree last May. Everyday as I go about life I have an appreciation for my surroundings - the designs, the colors - and you are the reason that my thinking will never be the same. I want say that your class had a huge impact on me. Not only did I learn more than I could have imagined, but your class was one of the first art courses in which I was able to express my creative side. More than anything, I greatly appreciated the fact that you never made me feel bad about my work and that you allowed me to learn through making mistakes. You encouraged me consistently while maintaning high expectations. I especially appreciated how good you were to me in 2D class because I was just beginning and at that stage where getting the wrong teacher would have crushed me. You helped give me the courage to keep moving forward in a new a scary place. Excellent class, great learning experience and very challenging also. One of the best classes I have taken at FRCC. I learned a tremendous amount in this class. I took the class as requirement that fit my schedule but have been delighted with the class. The techniques that I have learned in this class will last a lifetime. This class has been challenging yet very interesting. I have learned a great deal in this class. | ||
