Fine Arts

The Art guided pathways at Perimeter College are the largest and most comprehensive of any associate degree programs in Georgia, offering courses in art history, drawing, photography, computer design, painting, ceramics, sculpture and portfolio that enable students to explore passions and career interests beyond basic levels. Creative visual thinking is brought to life by a faculty of professional artists who expand skills and talents.

The Art guided pathways prepare students for transfer to four-year programs or for careers as professional artists. Faculty members train students for creative work and scholarship through rigorous course offerings and exceptional facilities. An emphasis on portfolio preparation in all classes makes Perimeter College graduates highly successful in transferring to bachelor degree programs.

Perimeter College’s galleries and visiting artists bring the students and public in contact with art from around the world, while exchange and study abroad programs offer students the opportunity to study in cultures with varied approaches to the visual arts.

Studio Art Attendance Policy

Class attendance is required. Absences amounting to no more than 15% of the course meeting days are allowed. This amount accounts for absences that may be necessary in the case of illness, University-sponsored events, legal or religious observances, or other extreme circumstances. Partial attendance at a class (late arrival, early departure, overlong breaks) equals 1/2 of an absence. Therefore, arriving late to class twice during the term will be recorded as one absence. If you know of an obligation ahead of time that requires your absence, please plan accordingly and in consultation with your instructor. For each absence after the allocated number, the instructor reserves the right to lower your final grade by one full letter (e.g. an A would be lowered to B). Please note that you do not have additional “excused” absences after the four allotted absences have been used. It is possible for you to pass all projects, tests, and assignments and still fail the class due to excessive absences. Information missed due to tardiness or absence will be the responsibility of the student. Refer to the Undergraduate Handbook for other relevant information regarding absences: Student Code of Conduct.
