What requirements are needed to be an art teacher?

Answer 1

An art teacher attends college in a four-year program with a major in Art Education. To be able to use the degree at a K-12 level one has to pass a teacher certification test. A person with a Fine Arts degree has less preparation in college because courses which are specific to education are not part of the major.

Answer 2

It depends on the level at which you wish to teach. For example: teaching a high school art class. Although you have to receive the correct credentials to teach, such as certification depending on the states laws and regulations, all you need is a bachelors degree from an accredited university or art school in the appropriate art field.

To become a college art teacher you not only need all of the previously mentioned but also you need to have at least a masters degree in an art field and meet certain criteria that said college has agreed upon. Some colleges set a requirement that perspective art teachers must participate in local gallery showings of their artwork.

Answer 3

To teach within the public school system in the United States at the pre-K through high school levels, you must have a bachelor's degree in a teacher education program from a regionally accredited college or university and state teacher certification. This would take approximately four years to complete as a full-time student, provided you take the program as prescribed by the college or university.
