    BA Programs in Art Education

    Students moving onto undergrad schooling frequently begin by working towards a bachelor's degree. The Bachelor of Arts degree often focuses on humanities like philosophy, the arts, history or various languages.

    What is a BA in Art Education? This degree usually combines liberal studies, art history, studio art classes, education courses and student teaching to prepare graduates to instruct art in a variety of classroom situations. Many programs allow students to specialize in one or more mediums, and often students need to present their own art exhibits and prepare portfolios to graduate.  Talented artists who interact well with children of all ages and love to inspire others to create their own art make ideal candidates for this degree. Practicum experience with art teacher mentors may help graduates prepare for their first classroom.

    Art education programs frequently emphasize skills that not only prove valuable in the classroom but also in everyday life. Participants expand written and oral communication skills. They learn to work independently and practice time management proficiency as they plan curriculums.

    Often the expenses associated with a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education degree span a wide range. Students should compare programs in different countries and check out both private and public colleges.

    A bachelor's degree in art education may provide career opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom. Graduates may qualify as teacher running art programs in elementary, middle and high schools. Other teaching possibilities may exist in community and technical colleges. Some graduates may elect to run their own art studio with private lessons in many mediums for both children and adults. Other possible jobs include art gallery manager, museum educator, creative art therapist, community arts educator, art camp director, jewelry designer, art specialist for an auction house or employment with art and textbook publishers.

    Many great art education programs exist all over the world. Some institutions also offer online degrees for those who cannot attend classes in person.
