Welcome to the Art Department
The art department in the Brookhaven College School of the Arts is dedicated
to providing the finest educational environment for art students seeking
transfer to four-year institutions, preparing for graduate school, gaining
additional professional training and continuing life-long learning.
With state-of-the-art classrooms, labs and a museum quality gallery, the
Brookhaven College art department is a dynamic center for the study of art,
providing outstanding foundation-level preparation in drawing, two-
and three-dimensional design, art appreciation and art history. These
beginning classes impart the skills and concepts necessary for advancement
into sophomore-level courses in ceramics, computer graphics, drawing,
figure studies, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, small
metals, and watercolor.
Students can also earn college credit by taking intensive, special-focus
art classes with prominent visiting artists during the Brookhaven College art
department’s nationally recognized Summer Workshop Program. Students
may choose to participate in foreign studies credit programs sponsored
by the Dallas County Community College District. In addition to credit
status, students can elect noncredit status and enroll concurrently in credit
classes through
Workforce and Continuing Education.
The art department has over 20 full-time and adjunct faculty members;
all as dedicated to being practicing artists and scholars as they are
to being challenging instructors. With local, national and international
exhibitions to their credit, the faculty members are represented in
major private, public and museum collections, and are frequent contributors
as curators, jurors, lecturers and consultants to a broad art community.
Coordinated with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, the
art department’s core curriculum transfers to all Texas four-year
institutions. Many Brookhaven College School of the Arts art majors
transfer, as well, to out-of-state institutions. Specialized
articulation agreements
facilitate seamless transfer to numerous regional and national institutions.
