The Bachelor of Fine Arts in art education prepares students for K-12 art teaching certification through a rigorous blend of studio practice, art history studies, and pedagogical training.
Beyond honing their artistic abilities, students gain practical teaching experience by instructing art classes in nearby schools and managing the Young Artist's Workshop, where community children participate in art classes at the School of Visual Art and Design.
The program fosters essential teaching competencies like effective communication and student engagement techniques, while providing specialized training in curriculum design and instructional planning. Students enhance their artistic proficiency through diverse studio courses spanning photography, 3D design, drawing, painting, ceramics, and printmaking. The BFA curriculum offers elective flexibility across Carolina Core requirements, studio arts, and art history courses.
