Art Teacher Jobs in Missouri

An Art Teacher in elementary education plays a crucial role in introducing, developing, and nurturing creative abilities in young children. They utilize a variety of teaching methods to impart knowledge about art history, crafting techniques, color theory, texture, and other basic concepts of art. Additionally, they aim to enhance students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills through artistic expression. Art Teachers plan and prepare lessons, arrange for necessary supplies, evaluate students' progress, and often organize art exhibitions to showcase students' work. They also collaborate with other teachers and participate in staff meetings to discuss curriculum improvement and student development.

A potential Art Teacher should have strong communication and classroom management skills. They must possess creativity, patience, and the ability to inspire and motivate young children. As for qualifications, candidates are required to have a Bachelor's degree in Art or a related field, and a state teaching certification. Some states may also require a Master's degree in Education. Before becoming an Art Teacher, a person might start their career as an Art Intern, Teacher's Assistant, or Substitute Teacher to gain classroom experience and develop their teaching skills. Having a portfolio of personal artwork can be advantageous as it demonstrates the candidate's artistic abilities and commitment to the arts.
