Successful completion of at least 39 upper-division hours of coursework (course numbers 30000-49999) is required.
Complete ARTE 41009: Art Education Major Review the semester prior to student teaching. Start early to prepare for your Art Education Major Review. Keep all studio work and classwork in order. You will have to produce a portfolio of 10-15 art works that represent your skills in a broad range of media. If you know you are weak in a studio area, be diligent in working toward improvement. Keep all class notes and materials. Part of the Review process includes annotated bibliographies (summaries of readings) and personal/critical reflections on them. Make note of readings (particularly readings from the past 10 years) that resonate with your beliefs. They will assist you in the Review process.
