Kilgore College offers general education, art and design courses necessary to apply to a university program in the arts and/or enter into your own professional practice.
The Fine Arts Program provides a comprehensive range of foundation art courses. These courses are a combination of studio practice and academic lecture. The art major gains complete instruction in art foundations as outlined by the Coordinating Board’s Transfer Curriculum in the Visual Arts.
The Advertising & Graphic Design Technology Program prepares you for staff positions and freelance assignments where you might design commercial packaging, print publications, book covers, annual reports, websites, advertisements, mobile apps, brands and identities, and much more. Students are trained in the leading industry standard software and in conceptual thinking, ideation, and professional practices.
Hard work and personal commitment are expected of Visual Arts students, but the faculty also recognizes the value of enjoying the creative process. The Visual Arts faculty sponsors the KC Visual Arts Club which provides students with opportunities to meet and share in creative, social, and educational activities outside the classroom. Club field trips are organized to visit fine art studios and design agencies in the region, to glimpse the work of professionals succeeding in the industry.
