Art Education


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Academic Programs

The Art Education Department prepares students to be skillful, imaginative, and socially engaged teachers and artists. Students can choose from five programs:

Art Teacher Education provides a broad, generalist education in studio work and eligibility for state licensure to teach in the visual arts.

Studo Education provides expertise and preparation in a single studio area and eligibility for state licensure to teach in the visual arts.

Museum Education specializes in art history, museum study, and art education. It is intended for students who want to work in museums or programs interfacing with collections or gallery exhibitions.

Community Education prepares students to work in settings outside the traditional classroom - in hospitals, after-school programs, cultural centers, or homeless shelters. The studio portion of the program provides a broad, generalist education in art.

Community-Studio Education prepares students to work in settings outside the traditional classroom - in hospitals, after-school programs, cultural centers, or homeless shelters. The studio portion of the program provides expertise and preparation in a single studio area.

Students in all five programs take introductory seminars in teaching new and traditional media and human development. They also learn about different instructional methods and the challenges their students face in their daily lives. In addition, all students are required to complete four interdisciplinary portfolio courses, which demonstrate their competency in art-making.

MassArt’s Saturday Studios program affords an opportunity for students to gain supervised and supported hands-on experience as educators by teaching Saturday morning art classes to children grades 4 through 12.
