Digital Artistry in Demand

Given that almost every kind of media – from books to cartoons – takes shape on computer screens, demand is high for artists trained in the latest digital techniques. Web sites, apps, and software require artwork and advertising. Further studies in graphic design and user interface/user experience design can build skills, while front-end digital developers combine coding with artistic know-how.

From Sketching to University and a Career

"I’m deaf and have an ability as an artist; I grew up sketching on paper. I was motivated at MPC to select art classes that would help me find a match for my career. The classes I took prepared me to transfer to university for advanced study."
