The Art Department of Paris Junior College is a recognized foundation program for visual arts students planning to transfer to an upper level program, attain an associate degree or for life enrichment.

Art Photo 1The classes are taught by master-level instructors who are artists and/or production professionals in their respective studio areas: art metals, ceramics, digital art, drawing, painting, photography and sculpture. Along with multiple levels in these studio areas, art history and art appreciation round out a solid foundation in problem solving, critical evaluation and technical and visual skills necessary in developing self confidence and creative expression.

The Department offers numerous opportunities for student trips to area museums, galleries and arts events in the region, particularly in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Student exhibitions and competitions provide opportunities for students to test and display their work and to reach beyond the campus with the expertise of visiting guest artists’ workshops, exhibitions, and critiques.

Art Photo 2Up-to-date equipment and specialized facilities provide an intimate and relaxed environment that includes a fully equipped computer lab that is used for research and digital production in many of the classes: a large, fully equipped classroom and multi-kiln courtyard for ceramics; an art metals, 3-D design and sculpture workshop; a darkroom for processing and printing traditional film; a portrait studio and a computer lab for digital photography. Two-dimensional design, drawing and painting studio classrooms are complimented with a lecture room and gallery space.

Classes in the PJC Art Department are designed with individual competencies and goals in mind through small classes and attentive instructors.
