What studying art education involves

An art education diploma typically covers both studio practice and teaching methods. You will likely spend time drawing, painting, sculpting and exploring design, while learning how to plan lessons, manage a classroom and assess students' work. The aim is to prepare you to teach art in schools and other settings, and to use the arts as a tool for learning.

The combination of creative skill and teaching experience can also lead to roles in arts administration, curriculum development or educational resource design.
