Knowledge of art and music are fundamental components toward a well-rounded, robust general education, focused on a good understanding and appreciation of the arts, their importance and their impact on society. Wake Tech's Fine Arts Department offers courses toward the completion of an Associate in Arts (AA) or an Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) degree.
Art courses for non-majors
Students who are not majoring in art are advised to take ART-111: Art Appreciation, ART-114: Art History Survey I or ART-115: Art History Survey II. These courses can satisfy up to six of the nine hours of humanities required for the AA degree. ART-114 or ART-115 are non-sequential and may be taken in any order.
Non-majors may also enjoy introductory courses in various media, including drawing, design, sculpture, painting, printmaking and computer art. However, AFA-Visual Art students have priority registration for these courses.
