Overview

Key facts

The Art Education program at Boston University allows students to concentrate on developing methods that teach children and adolescents to think visually and to create art that has personal meaning.

Though it is essential, art is not easy to teach. To unlock its power takes teachers who can utilize proven techniques informed by their own studio work. Our graduates revitalize their practice by learning to devise effective unit plans and master the latest techniques based on leading-edge theory and research. Their spoken and written communication is more focused and evidence-based. And because they know how and where to locate the latest research, our graduates stay current throughout their careers.

The program’s emphasis is on teaching but we haven’t forgotten that arts educators are artists. That may sound like a given but we take it seriously. That’s why we created Summer Studios where our students come to Boston for intensive, hands-on, process-oriented instruction within a supportive, intimate environment. At the conclusion of this optional component, students leave refreshed and inspired, their work invigorated. Online faculty and student colleagues become lifelong friends and contacts.
