Arts visuels (510.A0) is a two-year preuniversity DEC at Cégep de Trois-Rivières that develops technical and technological skills across visual art disciplines. Students study visual language and compositional structure alongside art history, learning to analyze and interpret works from different periods and cultures. Studio courses cover drawing, painting, sculpture, and photography, together with printmaking, screen printing, and digital imaging, with projects that build toward a personal portfolio. Facilities include drafting tables, easels, a dedicated computer lab with the Adobe Creative suite, digitizers, graphics tablets, digital cameras, a renovated woodworking shop, and a materials library, plus a dedicated exhibition space (the espace Jeanne-Vanasse) where students can show work to the public. Students may travel to galleries and museums in Québec and abroad and can compete in provincial events such as the Intercollégial en arts visuels. The program suits students building a portfolio for further study in fields such as visual arts, design, or art education at university.
