Curriculum ART The Art program provides preparation for university and college transfer and/or careers in fine arts, visual communications, and graphic communications/digital media, with an emphasis on individual creativity and development. To transfer, students should consult with the intended transfer institution to obtain a list of appropriate courses to complete at Chaffey College. For the Associate in Arts degree, students follow the program listed for one of the following areas of emphasis. New Media Emphasis The New Media Emphasis demonstrates the diverse experiences and theories of the new genres associated with mixed media, multimedia, mass media, performance, and installation. Courses in this emphasis advance inquiry into contemporary uses of photography, video, film, and computer-oriented digital media. Students are encouraged to create and develop expressive and critical abilities within the interrelated disciplines. ART/DIGITAL MEDIA The Digital Media program is a cross-discipline program designed to prepare students for employment in the fields of Web Design, Graphic Design, Motion Graphics, Sound Design, and Interactive Multimedia. Both degrees and certificates are offered in three separate digital media career field emphases. ART/VISUAL COMMUNICATION: ILLUSTRATION The Illustration program develops student’s ability to express concepts and ideas in varied visual forms.
