ART EDUCATIONARTANDDESIGN.SIU.EDU/ARTEDUCATION

The art education program is based on a commitment to artist-teacher development. Our teachers in training are encouraged to meaningfully integrate their art practice with their teaching practice. Courses for the BFA degree in art education span the areas of art education, studio and art history. These are integrated with a cluster of education courses taken through the Teacher Education Program in the College of Education and Human Services. Upon completion of all degree requirements and assessments for the Teacher Education Program, students are eligible for K-12 art education licensure in Illinois. Due to the diversity of fieldwork teaching experiences we offer, our students are also well prepared to teach in a wide variety of community settings. The art education program also offers a minor for those interested in gaining community art teaching skills and experience.

Our mission is to develop compassionate, innovative and engaged art educators. Service-learning experiences are an integral part of the training for our artist-teachers. These include hands-on, collaborative teaching experiences with students of all backgrounds and age ranges in communities throughout the Southern Illinois region.

The art education program meets the Illinois State Board of Education standards for professional development in the visual arts and is fully accredited by the National Association for the Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). Our BFA program is recognized throughout the region because of its accomplished practitioners and committed leaders in service, and for the dynamic instruction our graduating seniors bring to the profession of art education.

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONSSATURDAY YOUNG ARTIST WORKSHOPThe Saturday Young Artists Workshop is an outreach program that began in 1998. As part of an internship, students develop curriculum and teach classes for children in the greater Carbondale region. The program benefits our students by offering an internship with art teaching experience early in their programs. It benefits young local artists by providing art instruction with a low teacher-student ratio that encourages student-directed, inquiry-based learning in the visual arts.

ART HIVESThe “Art Hive” concept is based on the fundamental premise that everyone should have access to making and learning about art. The faculty and students in art education at the School of Art and Design embrace this approach to community-based art learning and have set up several hive sites in Carbondale. These sites offer free access to open studio space, art materials, informal instruction and mentorship to all members of our community.COMMUNITY-BASED INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES We collaborate with a growing number of organizations in the region to co-create visual arts programming

that offers engaging arts experiences for participants and their communities. These programs are set up as leadership and service-learning internships.
