Art Education, K-12
Art teachers must have the ability to get along with others, to communicate well visually, verbally and orally, as well as the ability to motivate others. They must have skill and talent in their subject matter and be able to transfer those skills to students. They help students develop the knowledge, skills and understanding to explore various fields of art. Personal characteristics might include creativity, independence, patience, persistence, and a genuine caring for people. The following list contains a representative sample of job titles of graduates with an Art Education major. Use this as an idea list, and remember that it represents some, but certainly not all, of the careers you might consider. Some of these jobs also require education beyond a bachelor’s degree.
