I teach in an art department that has lots of adult students many of them who come to us via community college (and the military). That’s all great advice everyone’s giving above. Just keep an eye out for how your credits will transfer. Once you start your research, make sure to plan out what classes you’ll take at CC and then talk to the department heads at the colleges you’d like to apply to so you make sure you’re not wasting time or money and that your CC credits will transfer into the 2nd school. Most art schools have a foundation year of specific art ‘basics’ classes, so you’ll want what you’re taking at CC to line up with that so you don’t have to repeat any of those foundation year classes.
