Art teacher?

hi, my degree was in media arts and visual arts, i studied mainly conceptual fine art, so did things like turning a tv inside out and mainly focused on photography. i graduated 6 years ago been teaching esl since.


what skills does it take in order to be an art teacher? i might study an art pgce, however im not sure if i have the right skills and may have to do an art foundation to brush up on my painting skills, however thats too much time and too much money. so what should i do? i found a masters in education and creative arts, was considering this. then a pgce. otherwise what are my career options?

Art teacher?
Why not contact a school and go in and have a look at art lessons. Some areas have " get into teaching" days when prospective teachers go in and look around.





These tend to be better schools, if you go to one of these days remember that not all schools will be as good. You might also ask about GTP courses.
Reply:This answer had to be selected by voters. As a former teacher I suspect that someone who can't be bothered to tick a best answer or even no best answer, just wont have the "get up and go" needed to follow the advice above. Report It

Study for an MBA in Arts Management @ Trinity College.


PGCE's are available there too.
