Student Testimonials
I majored in Visual Communications, as well as Art Education during my time at 淫性视频 College. I chose 淫性视频 College to further my art education after touring the Arts and Sciences building. I liked that 淫性视频 had many different new art studios to work in, including photography, painting, computer labs and a sculpture studio. 淫性视频 also provides extra studio time to students outside of regular class time. In addition to the Arts program, the Education program at 淫性视频 is very well known in New Jersey for producing highly skilled, qualified teachers. I heard great things about the professors who teach at 淫性视频, so I knew it was the right fit for me.
B.F.A. - Visual Communications Concentration
I chose 淫性视频 because I was looking for a strong graphic design program, but also wanted an intimate class size. A mentor at my community college recommended 淫性视频, and I really liked the atmosphere of the campus after a tour. While attending 淫性视频 all of my professors knew who I was, and where I was in their courses. At 淫性视频 you'll never feel like you are being pushed through a program as a number or a statistic. I really value the relationships I built with my professors while I attended 淫性视频 and still keep in contact with many of them today.
B.F.A. - Visual Communications Concentration
I was a Visual Arts major, and my concentration was on sculpture. 淫性视频 was very highly recommended to me by some friends who had attended. I will admit that as a non-traditional (older) student, I was hesitant to begin my college career. But once I met my professors and began my classes, I knew I was in the right place! I鈥檓 so thankful for the time I got to spend with all of them.
B.F.A. - Sculpture Concentration

Concentrations:
Student have an opportunity to focus on three areas of empahsis.
Painting (VPTG) has been around since Paleolithic times and continues to reinvent itself.
Technical skill is developed through realism, the representation of convincing forms in light and space, via proficient color-mixing and atmospheric perspective. Abstraction investigates the expressive potential of formal means, and the personal process of composing an image. Invention is developed in imaginative, conceptual and self-directed projects.
- Developing a personal, life-enriching vocation, though a career exhibiting and selling paintings (landscapes, abstractions, portraits, murals, etc.) is always possible.
- Problem-solving aspects involving imagination and experimentation, and project development and analysis are creative and critical thinking skills applicable to many occupations.
- Continue on to graduate school, pursue careers in teaching, illustration, graphic design, galleries and museums, arts management, and a variety of other fields.
Printmaking is about the creation of works of art using various multiple-image processes that usually involve ink on paper.
Printmaking techniques include intaglio, lithography, linocut, monotype, relief printing, and woodcut. Building on knowledge learned in drawing and two-dimensional design, printmaking students learn how to mix inks, work on a press, and about different types of paper, etc.
- Emphasizes the formulation of an individual artistic voice and involves students in a variety of techniques.
- Sets a solid foundation for nearly any arts area. Printmaking majors have gone on in a variety of careers, including teaching, graphic design, and arts management.
Sculpture is about the creation of art in three-dimensional space. While sculpture includes traditional techniques like modeling and carving, and traditional materials like clay and stone, it can also involve almost any process, and be almost anything.
- Sculpture is an excellent starting point for careers in special effects, animation, the toy design, industrial design, furniture design, interior design, architecture, landscape architecture, and commercial fabrication.
Photography is one of our concentrations in the BFA in General Studio Arts. It involves a wide range of issues and technologies related to photographic practice.
The photography concentration emphasizes the use camera based images (analog and digital), light sensitive materials and problem solving skills as an expression of ideas or concepts. Students work with both analog and digital image-making processes as a means of understanding the history and contemporary practice of the medium. The darkroom and the computer labs provide complementary tools for practical and creative problem solving.
- Prepares artists for nearly every aspect of the creative industries including opportunities with for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, news media, advertising, museums, galleries, and more.
- Career choices include graduate study; periodicals; large media producing companies; independent professional photographer; K-12 teaching (with certification) as well as college level teaching (with graduate study and professional record).
Visual Communications offers two areas of emphasis within its concentration.
Graphic Design is about the presentation of information through visual means.
The graphic design profession plans and creates the visual means to communicate a particular message to a particular audience and context. Graphic Designers design things people read, whether including words, signs, symbols, and imagery, or any combination of those which interprets, informs or persuades. Graphic Design utilizes typography, illustration, photography, and computer graphics.
- Acquire the technical, conceptual, and theoretical skills needed for entry-level positions in the field, for continued professional advancement, and for more specialized studies in graduate school.
- 淫性视频 VCOM majors have gone on to careers in advertising and marketing agencies, design studios, in-house design departments in corporations and other institutions, publishing, and packaging.
Illustration is about the creation of images in order to tell a story. Illustration incorporates both representation and design.
- Bridges the disciplines of graphic design, painting, photography, and computer graphics.
- Draw attention, tell a story, and convey information with traditional and digital media.
- Illustrators often work as freelance entrepreneurs or utilize illustration approaches to imagery in combination with design and typography in advertising, publishing, and digital media.

The Visual Arts comprise a field of great relevance and enrichment to a variety of disciplines, including but not limited to communication, history, literature, education, theatrical studies, business studies, and the sciences.
