The Art Education major provides a solid base in the areas of Studio Art and Education. Students will become knowledgeable with the aesthetic experience through a variety of hands on practices. Through the creation of artworks, in various media, students will expand their ability to invent and experiment. The Art Education major provides preparation in the areas of ceramics, painting, sculpture, graphic design, printmaking, theory, art history, exhibition, and portfolio.
