About the course

The continual practice of imagination and discipline is essential to a career in art. While pursuing your Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree at ArtCenter, you'll learn to express a compelling vision that transforms our way of seeing, thinking and engaging with the world. Here, aesthetics evolve hand-in-hand with experimentation. You’ll take risks and hone technical skills in small classes that foster collaboration and one-on-one learning. In a range of disciplines—drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, film/video, photography and digital imaging, and art-and-design hybrids—your imagination will blossom as you develop your craft.

　　Discover your voice and sharpen your skills through rigorous courses in fine art history, theory and practice. Explore broadly across sculpture, photography, film and installation with a focus on Fine Art, or narrow your study in the Painting and Illustration track. ArtCenter’s Bachelor of Fine Arts program is part of a community of global artists—including our distinguished faculty—whose professional networks and creative impulses become your resources and inspirations in the classroom, the studio and the world.
