The Art Education degree supports students’ development as reflective, innovative and engaged K-12 art educators. The curriculum encompasses extensive Studio Art competencies as well as studies in Art History and Professional Education. Art Education courses cover a variety of teaching practices and methods of curriculum development that include interdisciplinary, multicultural approaches to teaching and emphasize relevance to the lives of K-12 students and the realities of our contemporary world. In-class learning is augmented with firsthand teaching experiences in local and regional schools and includes teaching people of all ages in community-based arts settings. Upon graduation from our program, students earn Wyoming licensure for teaching K-12 Art.
