ART EDUCATION
MAKE A DIFFERENCE Your work life can reflect both your love of Art and Desire to share it with others through teaching visual art to K-12 students.
COURSES HELP YOU PREPARE In studios, perfect your skills in a variety of media; in art history, gain cultural and historical context. Through our liberal arts core, learn to research, write, and use foreign language. Begin to gain experience in K-12 art classrooms and other youth programs your very first year.
On campus, work with Art Rocks Kids (ARK) – after school and Saturday art classes for community children, directed by an experienced K-12 art teacher. Off campus, volunteer with the Boys and Girls Club, the Milton Porter School for children with special needs, and other local programs. The many hours in schools attached to teacher and art education courses make our art education candidates more prepared and sought after by employers. And our art ed courses are taught by successful, active or recently retired art teachers - not by scholars primarily interested in theoretical aspects of art education. We have a student chapter of Michigan Arts Education Association and out students attend MAEA;s state conference.
EMPLOYERS IN THIS FEILD LOOK FOR self-starters who are patient, upbeat, and fairly outgoing, and who enjoy working closely with children and other adults- administrators, colleagues, parents.
