The Bachelor of Fine Arts in art education is designed for students seeking certification to teach art in a K-12 setting. The major is an intensive combination of studio art, art history and teacher education courses.  <br><br>In addition to becoming accomplished and skilled artists, students receive hands-on experience teaching art classes in local elementary and secondary schools and running the Young Artist's Workshop, which brings children from the community into the School of Visual Art and Design for art classes.  <br><br>Our students develop communication skills and motivational strategies for teaching, gain expertise in curriculum development and lesson planning, and cultivate artistic skill by taking courses across many studio art areas, including photography, 3D design, drawing, painting, ceramics and printmaking. The BFA allows for flexibility in electives among Carolina Core, studio art and art history courses.
