Arts and Communication

Arts and Communications is a category name for programs that creatively express messages. The available programs are fashion design and graphic communications. Students understand the basics of the industry and its technology as well as make hands-on projects that they can even take home.

Graphic Communications uses “state-of-the-market” technology such as Adobe InDesign, Pagemaker, Photoshop and Illustrator on Macintosh computers. Fashion Design is an excellent program ranging from basic sewing and life skills to careers in designing and promoting fashion. In both programs, students can compete in competitions as well as create diverse and valuable portfolios. Portfolios are an essential tool for pursuing a career in a creative industry and the earlier students develop their portfolio the better.

Students in the Arts and Communications programs are detailed-oriented, creative, open minded, and explorative. Experience levels can vary from novice to well-skilled and the courses will be beneficial to all. To learn more about the individual courses, click on the links below.
