Linda Waugaman Visual Arts Director, Indian River State College 772-462-7824 [email protected]
Hi. My name is Linda Waugaman. Thank you for checking out Visual Art at IRSC’s Fine Arts website. I am the Director of Visual Arts at IRSC and the person to contact if you are interested in pursuing one of the many exciting careers in the Visual Arts. I am also the person who can help you if you just want to take an art class for personal enrichment. We offer the first two years of a four year program leading to a degree in Art. We offer the same basic classes in Drawing, Design, Painting, Printmaking, Graphic Design and Art History as those you would take at a University. Our classes are small and give each student individual attention to assure the greatest progress possible.
We have an active Gallery and visiting professional artist schedule during the year offering students the opportunity to experience a broad range of artistic mediums and styles. Currently each year IRSC’s gallery has two professional shows and two student shows with an auction of student work in the spring.
The Department also offers an exciting summer art experience in Europe. This is a chance to study works of art by the masters and learn from them. This is an experience that is not often available to community college students. It can empower you to create your own place in the artistic and cultural world. Last summer students traveled to Venice, Italy to study masterworks of artists and architects. This summer our plans are to travel to Florence.
