The Art Education program at City College of New York prepares students to be reflective artist-educators who can teach in multiple settings, including schools, community centers, museums, and alternative learning sites. Students gain a critical understanding of the social significance of art education as they develop the skills to actively contribute to the field through their creative and academic work.
In this animated short, Marit Dewhurst, Chair of the Art Education Program at the City College of New York describes a few features of the class Community, Culture, and Identity in Art Education. She talks about creating an art classroom where there is a sense of justice, radical love, and community connection where students feel comfortable being who they are and exploring deep questions.
