Description
Students in Purdue's art education program develop a broad
understanding of the visual arts and the desire to communicate
this understanding to others. The program provides a solid
foundation in the liberal arts as well as specialized skills
in studio arts, curriculum planning, teaching strategies,
and verbal communication.
Course work provides a balance between the theoretical and
practical needs of prospective teachers. Students may enroll
in a comprehensive visual arts curriculum or one with an emphasis
in applied design.
Throughout the program under the supervision of an art education
faculty members, students receive practicum experiences by
observing in the public schools.
The art education degree meets both state and national certification
standards. The program is approved by the National Council
for the Accreditation of Teacher Education, which permits
Purdue graduates to teach in other states. While many students
find fulfillment in teaching , others use their background
in art education to pursue careers in supervision, administration,
and other leadership roles in art education.
Art education attracts students with a strong interest in
art and a desire to work with people. Graduates often choose
to become art teachers in public and private institutions
such as elementary and secondary schools, museums, and other
institutional settings.
