Artistic activity is a psychologically integrating experience that naturally calls forth self-direction, learning through the senses, and multidimensional ways of knowing. The special mission of art education is to support the development of perceptual sensitivity and depth of expression within a cultural and educational context that is too often disconnected from both the outer world of the senses and the hidden world of imagination and inspiration. The goal of the program in art education is to develop art educators who can understand artistic development across the lifespan and the relationship of the sensory and kinesthetic domains to art-making; awaken and support the exploration of ideas, feelings, and experiences through developmentally sensitive means and materials; appreciate the role the arts can play in opening cross cultural understandings; and maintain a lively commitment to their own artistic practice. Majors in art education complete a full major in art.
