ART 275 School Experiences in Art

This course is the entry-level course for Art Education majors. Students act as an aide in an art classroom for two weeks (70 hours). Students keep a detailed journal of their experiences and research art teacher responsibilities, the school culture and the role of a contemporary art program in the total education of the child. Cooperating teachers provide a written evaluation of the student's participation; submission of the student journal and a follow-up interview is also required.
