Human beings have been making art for over 30,000 years, not many fields of study can boast of such a long history.
When you study art you will begin to learn about that varied and rich art history and you will spend engaging hours in the studios learning about studio practices such as design fundamentals, painting, drawing, making ceramics, and creating sculpture. Your courses and subsequent AA degree will start you down the road for a career as an art teacher or other art related careers.
Continue your education with a bachelor or master’s degree in art or art history and find employment as an art teacher or other art related field.
