Art (Art Education), BFA

The BFA program in art with a concentration in art education provides students with creative teaching and learning processes and strategies, firsthand experience teaching art for a range of ages, an understanding of the study of art history and global cultures, and practice in a variety of studio areas. Students learn about K-12 education in public, community and museum settings, and engage art education from multiple perspectives, including creative and critical thinking, ecological connections, inquiry-based learning, interdisciplinary curriculum development, multicultural contexts, and studio and conceptual art practices. In addition to their art education coursework, students are required to take coursework in the various studio areas offered in the School of Art. Faculty encourage students to be self-disciplined and self-directed, to understand complex ideas around how images function, and to develop a strong sense of themselves and their place in the world. Faculty emphasize critical concepts in their teaching and encourage research, interdisciplinary engagement and coursework from disciplines across the university.
