Department Information

Art student working on a painting

The Art Pathway at Georgia State University Perimeter College offers courses in art history, drawing, 2-D, 3-D, photography, and ceramics 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 and art historians.

Art offers small class sizes and prepares students for transfer to four-year programs or for careers as professional artists. Students are trained 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’s degree programs.

Each academic year culminates in a student art show in the Fine Arts Gallery of the Fine Arts Building. The show is adjudicated by professional artists and offers students an opportunity to receive valuable feedback on their work, showcase their art for gallery patrons, and earn cash prizes.
