The Art and Design Foundation at Niagara College is about discovery; the discovery of methods and materials, processes and approaches, possibilities and potential – but most importantly, the opportunity for students to discover themselves. The aim of this program is the development of ability, skill and critical faculties by means of thoughtful study and practical outcomes. An awareness of the broad nature of art and design underlies the teaching of the programs. You will be able to build a strong portfolio for further studies in any art and design related programs offered by Niagara College and/or other educational institutions.
