Program details
Overview
Arts visuels is a pre-university Diploma of College Studies (DEC, code 510.A0) offered by Cegep de l'Abitibi-Temiscamingue at its Rouyn-Noranda campus, with a stated university transfer pathway to UQAT. The program centers on visual-arts practice and theory: students draw, paint, sculpt, and photograph, while studying art history and the meaning behind artistic works. Courses introduce digital creation tools alongside access to a dedicated workshop and woodworking facilities, and students exhibit their work within the college and attend exhibitions by professional artists. Foundational courses cover observational drawing and color exploitation, in addition to general education such as physical education, philosophy, French writing and literature, and English. No specific subject prerequisite is required for admission. The program is presented as suited to students who are curious about the arts, enjoy hands-on creative work such as drawing, painting, sculpting, or photography, and want to understand the concepts and messages behind artistic production. It leads toward further study or careers in visual arts, art history, teaching, illustration, graphic design, photography, and museology, making it a fit for students planning to continue into a university arts or design program, including through the UQAT transfer route named on the page.
