Art education is a professional, career-oriented program that prepares students for positions as educators and artists in the community. Graduates of the WMU art education program occupy leadership positions in schools, colleges and universities, non-profit arts organizations, art museums and professional associations. By integrating studio skills with knowledge of historical and contemporary arts, critical theory, learning theory and pedagogical practice, the art education curriculum guides students to a deep understanding of the creative process and the personal and cultural value of visual expression. Students engage in pre-internship teaching experiences through the Saturday Morning Art program and service learning in the community. Successful completion of the art education program, including a fifth-year of internship in the schools, can lead directly to K-12 teacher certification and the visual arts education endorsement, and/or to graduate studies. WMUs art education program is closely aligned with the Michigan Art Education Association, the state’s professional organization for art educators. The Student Chapter of the National Art Education Association is large and active, providing community-based art instruction to underserved populations, and participating in annual conferences of the MAEA and NAEA. The MAEA-WMU Summer Professional Development Institute, a week of workshops held each August, offers opportunities for in-service art educators to update their knowledge and skills in teaching and studio practice. The Summer Institute has been honored by the NAEA as one of only a handful of co-sponsored institutions in the nation.
