The Art Department of Clatsop Community College provides stimulating educational experiences in a range of artistic disciplines including graphic design, basic design, drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, ceramics (including an offsite Anagama Kiln firing class), sculpture, art history, music appreciation and private guitar lessons. Classes are taught by practicing professional artists who are also dedicated, experienced instructors offering personalized instruction in a supportive atmosphere for students of all levels of experience. Our rigorous art program prepares successful students to achieve their educational goals, which may include: transfer to any four-year college, university, or art school; pursuit of a career in the arts; and/or development of skills for satisfying personal enrichment and life-long creative practice. Seeking to engage our students and the campus and wider community in inspiring educational opportunities beyond the classroom, the Art Department features exhibits of contemporary art, lectures, and workshops on a rotating basis in our campus Art Center Galler y, as well as organizes field trips and art-related activities sponsored by the art club.
