Art is both a mirror to and a shaper of the individual, society,
and culture. Art is a fundamental human experience and behavior
that crosses all boundaries. The YVCC Department of Visual Arts
(DoVA) fosters an awareness of the making of art, the
interpretation of art, the development of art across cultures
and time, and the relevance of art to daily experience.
Students are exposed to the vocabulary and craft of art through
the department’s various classes. Stress is given to the
development of technical skills, the communication of concepts,
and expression of ideas within traditional and contemporary
issues, techniques, and technologies. The faculty in the Department of Visual Arts are committed to
developing the skills and talents of the students in their
classes, and to place art within the social arena of the
community. All full and part-time faculty are practicing,
producing, and exhibiting artists. |
The Department of Visual Arts prepares and exhibits work from
its studio classes each year in the YVCC Larson Gallery. The
exhibit runs the last four weeks of Spring Quarter. All students
completing studio classes are encouraged to participate. New
work from the art faculty is also included.
