Art (Art Education)

About

UWG offers two programs in Art Education that lead to teaching certification T-4 (K-12): the B.F.A. in Art Education is designed for undergraduate candidates, while the Post-Baccalaureate Initial Certification in Art is designed for candidates holding an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution. Both programs focus on providing quality education, instruction, and guidance to assist art teaching candidates in professional preparation programs to become highly effective and efficient art teachers. Emphasis is placed on providing an awareness of traditional and contemporary approaches to teaching art and for methods of developing meaningful, cohesive art curricula applicable to children of all ages, aptitudes, and abilities. The programs place emphasis on teaching and learning strategies that are based on interdisciplinary and cross-curricula approaches to education, which integrate art production, art history, art criticism, and aesthetics with other subject fields.

The programs place emphasis on teaching and learning strategies that are based on interdisciplinary and cross-curricula approaches to education which integrate art production, art history, art criticism, and aesthetics with other subject fields. Experiences in the Art History courses provide opportunities to become familiar with art forms created in a wide range of cultures and eras, while experiences in the studio courses enable candidates to develop their subject content knowledge further by undertaking a wide range of two and three-dimensional creative problem-solving experiences in art, with opportunities to specialize in areas of preference. The art education facilities include both Mac and PC computers, and a Smart Board that allows for digital presentations. Faculty members in Art Education are experienced, capable of providing a wealth of relevant knowledge about contemporary art teaching issues, approaches and concerns, and they can assist candidates to prepare thoroughly for the career of their choice.
