UWG offers two programs in Art Education: the B.F.A. in Art Education is designed for undergraduate candidates and has two tracks art teacher certification and community arts (non-teacher certification track), while the Post-Baccalaureate Initial Certification in Art is designed for candidates holding an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution. Only the B.F.A. in Art Education (teacher certification track) and the Post-Baccalaureate Initial Certification in Art lead to teaching certification T-4 (P-12). The B.F.A. In Art Education Community Arts track focuses on teaching and facilitating art activities in community settings such as arts centers, museums, community centers and more. The programs focus on providing quality education, instruction, and guidance to assist art teaching and community arts candidates in professional preparation programs to become highly effective and efficient artist-teachers. Emphasis is placed on providing an awareness of traditional and contemporary approaches to teaching art and for methods of developing meaningful, cohesive art curricula applicable to community arts settings and P-12 grades for students and individuals of all aptitudes, and abilities. The programs place emphasis on teaching and learning strategies that are based on interdisciplinary and cross-curricula approaches to education, which integrate art production, art history, art criticism, and aesthetics.
