Can someone please tell me the difference between MA in Art Education and an MA in Art History? Please View.?

Question

I've been looking at different University programs to figure this out but have yet to come up with a clear answer.

I am currently obtaining my BFA in Computer Animation and then I want to go on to get my MA or MFA because I want to teach Art History, Art Appreciation, and possibly Studio Art as well at Junior College level and possibly even get certified to teach art to EC-12 grades.

I know that one must become proficient in another language if they want to get an MA in Art History. I would actually prefer to avoid that. I have taken 5 years of Spanish and I struggle immensely at it which is why I would rather avoid having to learn or (be proficient) in another language.

I was hoping I could get an MFA in Studio Art with at least 18 graduate hours in Art History that way I can be qualified to teach Art History and Studio without having to learn a second language.

If I get an MA in Art Education, do I still have to learn a foreign language? And With this MA, will I still be qualified to teach Art History or Art Appreciation at a junior college level?

Thank you to all!

I believe the biggest difference is that the MA in Art Education emphasizes the education end of it, while the Art History has more research. If you want to teach I'd go for the Art Education and double major in education.

I'd make an appointment with a school counselor and discuss what you want to do.

The measure MA in Fine Arts can result in - doing artwork for artwork, the existence, the romance, the distress of being constantly getting ready to poverty. There could be occasional luck, the even rarest: the artists that honestly grow to be self adequate and good recognized adequate for artwork galleries to place up their paintings. While a measure, MA in Art Education one concentrates on information the techniques concerned in artwork making and the educational techniques of pupils. The artwork trainer encourages kids and young people to suppose visually, alternatively than to easily create merchandise aimlessly with out private that means. Students are additional ready to illustrate the crucial relationships among artwork and tradition, artwork and emotion, and artwork and historical past. However, you're in a position of instructing artwork schooling with both measure relying at the state certification for an artwork trainer.
