art education
The art education program is for committed artists who are interested in earning teacher certification along with their bachelor’s degree. In addition to rigorous studio training, students receive grounding in the diverse uses and meanings of art, teaching and learning theory, and cultural anthropology as it applies to social research and community service.

These theoretical underpinnings are complemented with practical experiences in the field, as students deliver art lessons to children in a variety of educational settings. We approach teaching as an art form which requires the exercise of creativity, sensitivity, and highly developed skills in visual and verbal communication.
