We believe good teachers must be good artists. This program has developed its reputation through a strong core of courses in art-making, art history, art education, and teacher education.
Through the curriculum, you will explore learning styles and cognitive theory in relation to educating kids in the arts for grades K-12.
With a concentration in studio art, you will experience art materials and methods and relate those to integrated lessons addressing a diversity of student populations.
In your first year, you will take art foundation courses (ART 102, 103, 104, 105) and introductory education courses. In your sophomore and junior year, you will study art education methods and delve deeper into your art-making with studio courses. As a senior, you will complete your student teaching practicum along with a Capstone Studio Art Project.
Successful completion of the program requirements and passing the state certification exams will lead to provisional New York State teacher certification in Visual Art K-12.
I want to be an art teacher based on my love for art and working with children. The idea of working with kids who have such a fresh understanding of the world pushes me to want to impact them in a positive way for the rest of their lives. I create art to express my view of the world and to explore my passion of the creative outlet that I have loved since I was young. I hope to influence people with my art and help them gain a new perspective on the world.
