Commercial Arts is any artwork made to be sold in an intended market. Everything you see in life starts with an artist's sketch or a designer's concept. Artists work in a variety of traditional and digital media. In class, students work with charcoal, colored pencils, oil pastels, watercolor, acrylic, etc. to create portfolio pieces. They also learn Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop to incorporate type, graphics, and images into their work. They complete freelance jobs for clients and research options for art schools. The above poster design was created by student Taylor Carhart.
