Post-Secondary Program Fine Arts Studio - Programa en Bellas Artes

Centennial College´s Fine Arts Studio program is an intensive two-year offering with emphasis on physically creating art through drawing, painting and sculpting.

By getting your hands dirty (literally), you learn the latest skills and techniques, find your own creative voice and be prepared to launch your career as an artist. You spend more time in the studio in two years at Centennial College than other schools offer in four!

In addition to the creative process, this arts diploma program offers one of Ontario´s most comprehensive professional practice curriculums. You´ll graduate well-prepared to thrive as a self-employed artist in the professional arts community.

In this Fine Arts Studio program, you:

Develop advanced technical, conceptual and professional skills required to engage the contemporary arts community.
Work independently both in and out of the studio environment.
Receive lots of one-on-one attention.
Begin to nurture a lifetime of growth as a professional visual artist and storyteller.
Have a progressive learning experience led by a collaborative team of teachers.
Be encouraged to develop personal direction and approach to build your own unique voice and style in visual storytelling.
