At WLU, art teacher candidates are guided into leading personal and professional lives that are involved in and enriched by the visual arts. The creation and study of art represents opportunities to explore and learn about traditional, popular, and contemporary art forms within the community and within all cultures. Art teacher candidates recognize that learners of all ages, preschool to the elderly, can benefit from learning about the visual arts in a comprehensive way. The West Liberty University curriculum in Art Education values art making, art history, art criticism and aesthetics as integrated components of art education. Art Education candidates recognize that their own personal command of art is essential if they are to help students gain a deeper understanding of various approaches to making, studying, and talking about art. They are committed to knowing about how art relates to their students and the educational communities where they teach.
