Art Education

If you are a student who is interested in art and teaching, the Art Education program at Fairmont State will provide you with the skills you need to create art and to deliver instruction in the classroom. You will study drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, design, printmaking and art history with professors who are productive artists and scholars. Your art education classes will challenge you to develop innovative lessons that you will present to children in actual field experiences. Every step of the way, you will find professors and peers who will help you to develop the confidence you want when you begin your career as an art teacher in public schools
