Art Education Programs, grades B-12
- Initial Certification
- Professional Certification
The Art Education Programs at Nazareth College strive to nurture and sustain
art educators as they meet the challenges of today’s schools and assume a leadership
role in shaping the schools of tomorrow. The goal is to
enrich and expand art educators who look critically and reflectively at the role
art education plays in the school curriculum. Through an artist-teacher model,
the graduate programs provide students with an opportunity to engage in advanced
and concentrated study in the visual arts. The program leading to initial certification
also utilizes a field based model to prepare students for teaching art by critically
analyzing and synthesizing artistic and educational theory and practice at all
levels of learning in area schools. The programs ensure a broadening of artistic
knowledge, and teaching skill for those students seeking professional certification,
with an emphasis on the development of the aesthetic and critical artist-teacher.
