Introduction

Art Center College of Design is one of the premier design schools in the world. Many notable designers have studied there, including graphic artists like Jasper Johns, filmmakers like Tim Burton, and even visual effects wizards like Adi Granov. Below is a list of just some of ACCD’s notable alumni.

Jasper Johns

Born in 1930, Jasper Johns is a contemporary American artist who studied at the Art Students League and the Hans Hofmann School. He also attended the American University in Paris and the School of Fine Arts in New York.

He was one of the most important artists to emerge from the pop art movement of the 1960s. His work often features recognizable symbols like flags or numbers that are repeated over and over again, which he describes as his “handwriting.” Some of his most famous paintings include Flag (1954), Numbers ’63 (1963), Three Flags (1958), Target with Four Faces (1960), White Target with Four Faces Black Dots No Title #1 (1965) and Numbers ’65-69 Nos 2-5 Series III 4 Color Silkscreen Prints + Mirror Frame No Title #5 Series IV 5 Color Silkscreen Prints + Mirror Frame No Title #6 Series III 3 Color Silkscreen Prints + Mirror Frame Data Series 16 Four Color Silkscreen Prints + Mirror Frames

He is known for his 1960s use of “light boxes” with colored fluorescent lights that created an experience for viewers within a room, as well as his 1970s work as a sculptor using light and space. His Roden Crater Project in Arizona is one of the largest works of art ever constructed on Earth.

Art Center College of Design Notable Alumni

A bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from Art Center College of Design is an excellent way to begin your career as a visual artist. Though the curriculum at Art Center is very focused on design, you’ll also have plenty of opportunity to develop a deep understanding of art history and theory.

In addition to studying the traditional fine arts (painting, sculpture, drawing), students take classes that focus on computer-generated imagery and multimedia storytelling. In fact, many graduates go on to work in animation or video game design after graduation.

Conclusion

It’s a diverse list of alumni from Art Center College Of Design that have gone on to do great things. All these people are inspirational and an example of what you can achieve with hard work and dedication. They started off at Art Center College Of Design just like many others, but went on to make their mark in the industry as well as in the world. It’s incredible to see how many different industries they have gone into and how far they have gone down their chosen paths. I don’t think anyone could imagine that all these people would end up being so successful when they first started out at Art Center College Of Design
