Art training for today’s market

The purpose of the studio art concentration is to produce Christian artists who are able to effectively communicate in the areas of studio art and illustration.

Additional Learning Outcome: Graduates of the studio art concentration will also be able to develop a body of work demonstrating strength in representational drawing and painting and visual storytelling in a variety of media sufficient for pursuing professional opportunities in studio art and illustration fields.

The studio art program begins with a foundation of basic drawing and design principles to equip students with proper skills and techniques and proceeds through advanced skills in drawing, painting, and computer usage. Under the direction of skilled artists, the goal of our department is to develop in the student the ability to provide professional workmanship and convey biblical principles in both his life and in his art.

Graduate Perspective

“PCC’s art program provides a strong foundation in the principles of representational art to build a career upon. I put PCC’s art program on par with most well known art schools in the country, but at a fraction of the cost.” Brian Neher (’94 grad) Professional
