How do you become an art teacher?

Answer by  mpartin (1600)

You would go to college and have your major as art. You would also have to take the business side so that in case you decided to open your own art gallery you would already have the business know how to run the company. After graduation you would want to move to an art district for the most opportunities.

Find an art education program so you can get the right credentials. Art teachers are usually licensed to teach grades K-12, so you have a wide range of kids you can teach. Unfortunately, a bad economy means fewer jobs for art teachers. Get an additional license (reading teacher or special ed) so you can get a job.
