Description:

The Art Fundamentals program emphasizes studio work. You'll produce art from the first day of class, gaining practical skills while discovering your strengths and your preferences. You'll also have the opportunity to explore many options for further study and careers in the visual arts. By the end of the year you'll have a body of work and the beginnings of an artistic identity. Your Art Fundamentals certificate will qualify you for more advanced programs. At Sheridan, you'll be considered for admission to Visual and Creative Arts. In addition, students who complete Art Fundamentals with a GPA of 3.5 will be considered for admission to the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at OCAD University and the BA program at Brock University.
