Art
A focus on the fine arts—with a carefully curated selection of studio and art history classes—provides a well-rounded experience.
When you take the foundation classes your first year at RVC, you have a strong basis to build on. These classes are the core essentials, no matter where or how far you plan to take your art studies. The foundation courses are: prerequisites for other art classes, transfer well to many four-year art programs, and are required if you opt for any art certifications or degrees at RVC and beyond.
Foundation classes include ART-101, ART-102, ART-103, and ART-203.
Whether you like drawing, painting, sculpture, or art history, you’ll be able to express yourself effectively in Rock Valley College art courses.
Creating art isn’t just an expression of individuality and creativity — it can lead you wherever you want your life to go.
Presenting your work is an important aspect of your growth as an artist. Display your artwork at the Annual High School (Juried) Art Exhibit and Award show, the RVC Art Student Award Show, and local and regional art exhibitions. It’s all part of our goal to give you a genuine experience in the art field.
