Why major in Art?
ECC’s Art majors take courses that ensure a strong technical and artistic foundation. The curriculum parallels the first two years of a baccalaureate degree (B. A.) in art at a four-year college or university and will also serve as preparation for careers such as freelance artist, graphic designer, interior decorator, advertising designer, museum assistant, curator, or teacher.

If I major in Art, can I transfer to an upperdivision college or university?
Under the articulation and joint enrollment agreements with area institutions, all the college credits earned at ECC will be accepted by these four-year institutions upon transfer. ECC has such agreements with the institutions our students most frequently attend: NJIT, Rutgers, New Jersey City University, Kean University, Montclair State University, Bloomfield College, Fairleigh Dickinson University and others. ECC Art graduates have also transferred to and completed baccalaureate degrees at Pratt Institute, the Parsons School of Design, the Fashion Institute of Technology, and the School of Visual Arts.

Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the different artistic perspectives which come from a study of and interaction with a culturally diverse population;
  • Demonstrate understanding of the influence of religion, geography, politics, economics, and social issues on the creation of art;
  • Recognize seminal works of art in the major and minor arts from prehistoric times to the modern era;
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the development of techniques, media, tools and styles in art throughout the world’s cultures;
  • Demonstrate in-depth knowledge, via a formal research report, of a particular artist, period, style, work, or artistic trend;
  • Develop facility in utilizing a variety of drawing and painting materials and styles;
  • Create compositions in drawing, painting, and design that are expressive and attractive by utilizing the elements of design;
  • Solve two-dimensional design problems;
  • Create solutions to three-dimensional design assignments; and
  • Demonstrate understanding of the influence of art on the daily lives of people.
