Art Education

The Art Education Department prepares students to be skillful, imaginative, and socially engaged artist-teachers. Students can choose from four 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.

Students in all four programs take introductory seminars in contemporary teaching and contemporary art practices and human development. They learn about different instructional methods and the challenges their students face in their daily lives. In addition, all students are required to complete five or six interdisciplinary portfolio courses that develop and demonstrate their competency in art-making.

MassArt’s Saturday Studios program affords  students the opportunity to gain  hands-on experience as educators before their extrenal practicums by teaching Saturday morning art classes to children grades 4 through 12 with support and supervision of Art Ed. faculty.
