The art education program at Indiana State University prepares
students for certification to teach art in grades
kindergarten-12. Course work in the program includes three
components. The productive component, or studio area, teaches
students basic concepts and skills and technical proficiencies.
The appreciative component- including aesthetics, art history,
and art criticism- gives students philosophical, historical, and
critical bases for viewing art of the past and present.
The professional component gives students knowledge and
abilities related to education in general and art education in
particular. This is done through classroom laboratory and
clinical experience in creative abilities in the classroom. It
also cultivates confidence in students as educators who can
effectively teach a comprehensive art curriculum.
