this is a question for teachers, especially art teachers?

I want to become an art teacher but I’m wondering, if you are an art teacher who cannot find a job teaching art, can you teach other subjects or is it a completly different program and certificate?

If you are willing to move, there are jobs available. And yes, in budget crunches….the “arts” are the first thing looked at when cutting.

This degree is a specialized one, and you will not be able to teach other subjects. I would suggest possibly a dual major if you are inclined to go into teaching. Currently, special education, math, and science are the places to be.

Don’t give up your love of art however. Speaking from a music teacher’s standpoint…..if I had it to do over again, I think I would major in something else and have a music minor. There are just too many uncertainties these days.

Best of luck

That will depend on several things. One and most important are the certification/credential requirements of the state in which you live. Next your major and minor come into play. Assuming you are an art major if you have several courses in art history they may allow you to teach some history classes. If you have enough units in your minor you could certainly teach classes in that subject area. There are also tests you can take that would allow you to teach courses that you have some units in provided you pass the test. You need to check out the requirements for the state in which you hope to teach and go from there. It never hurts to have a strong minor. Math, science and Spanish are three very marketable minors.

You might consider a double major or minor in computer graphic design, digital cinema, or educational media/instructional technology. Each has a correlation with art and would make you more marketable. Schools are especially looking for media specialists (see link).

Good luck!

In most states yes. Be advised, when schools have buget cuts, one of the first things to go is art.

particularly some what Bruce Lee taught and indicated in his writings runs opposite to a pair factors of classic martial arts. alongside with this you may undergo in techniques that he replaced into from a distinctive era and technology than that of now. Even lower back then he replaced into no longer enjoyed or respected for a number of his teachings and attitude to issues. Irregardless of that in case you basically take one among his maximum hardship-loose principals this is to take from each artwork that this is useful for you and use it to your guy or woman that may no longer in contrast to what MMA is all approximately. the different reason is that he replaced into often a stand-up fighter and his books and style of struggling with heavily emphasised that. That garners little appreciate interior the MMA international and particularly some believe that his struggling with form does no longer stand as extreme because it as quickly as replaced into thought it may with the aid of floor struggling with factors that his form often lacks.
