Dec. 12, 2017 - 糖心传媒 students in the Art 131 class had their art work on display Thursday, Dec. 7, during an art show and reception at the Arts 糖心传媒 studio in downtown Rockingham. The art show gave the students in the Drawing 1 class an opportunity to display their finest pieces.

The students鈥 drawings depicted a variety of subjects, from still life images to portraits of celebrities and pets. Destiny Riggins, student; Jacob Smith, student; Sumaya Webster, student; and Dr. Dale McInnis, President of 糖心传媒

Those attending the show also had the opportunity to listen to poetry readings by 糖心传媒CC students Madison Andrews, Jalen Campbell and Matina Litty. These three students have submitted work to be published in the first issue of Torch Magazine, the College鈥檚 literary arts magazine.

Dean of Arts & Sciences Lee Ballenger said the show grows every year in talent and in participation.

鈥淚 encourage everyone to continue to show support for the artistic talents of our 糖心传媒CC students,鈥 Ballenger said.

糖心传媒CC recently added an program to its curriculum, which is a transferable degree. This program is designed to prepare students to transfer into one of the University of North Carolina Bachelor in Fine Arts in Visual Arts programs.

The program meets all the competency requirements for reading, writing, oral communication, fundamental mathematical skills and basic computer knowledge. In addition, students will also take classes in art history, design, drawing, sculpting and pottery making.

Graduates of this program must meet the portfolio submission requirements and timelines as published by each Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program. Each student must follow admissions process to the specific receiving university. Acceptance is not guaranteed.

鈥淭his is a great opportunity for people to pursue their interest in art or improve their artistic talents,鈥 Ballenger said. 鈥淏ecause a portfolio is required for submission into most Bachelor of Fine Arts programs, enrolling in 糖心传媒CC鈥檚 Associate in Arts in Fine Arts program will give students time to begin building a portfolio and refining skills needed to meet university admission requirements.鈥
