The Art Department offers classes in ceramics, sculpture, 3D design, painting, drawing, graphic design, photography, 2D Design, Digital Art, Color Theory, and printmaking.

In 2010, Los Medanos College finished a complete remodel of the Art Department instructional space. Our beautiful new facilities include a new graphic design computer lab complete with iMacs and equipped with the latest Adobe Creative Suite software (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc.); separate design, painting, and drawing labs; and a vastly expanded 3-D ceramics space.

Our faculty and staff have a collective 100 plus years of experience. Experience is the inevitable art class that no one wants to take. Art students have an opportunity to build from their vast knowledge and expertise.

Studying and experiencing art cultivates creative problem solving and the empathy centers of the brain—both of which are extremely important in many areas of life. The art program at Los Medanos College offers a complete program of study, both theoretical and practical, in an integrated fine and applied arts curriculum. Many schools offer programs in art. What makes our program unique? Stoutheartedness course offerings and a faculty committed to a common philosophy and common goals.
