FINE ARTS

Lakeland's Fine Arts takes students from the fundamental concepts and practices to advanced application, creativity and problem-solving. Whether you want to learn about art theory and its application in history, put your artistic abilities to the test in a studio course, or take a class for self-fulfillment and enjoyment, we have courses to meet your needs. Fine arts courses include art appreciation and survey of art, drawing, painting, ceramics, jewelry/metals, and sculpture.

Layce Artman I graduated with my associate degree from Lakeland while at the same time graduating as Valedictorian from high school. I plan to attend the Holden University Center to complete my bachelor's degree in criminal justice. Layce Artman College Credit Plus

Michelle Timms One thing I really love about Lakeland and being in the honors program is that the teachers have small classes and they are very devoted to their students. My friends at four-year institutions are taking the same intro classes that I am, but in large lecture halls with a lot more students. Michelle Timms Associate of Arts
