Best Answer: You will need a degree in art education to teach art in a K-12 public or private or parochial school. A regular art ed degree is 4 years and about 1/4th of your classes are in art, 1/4th in education, 1/4th in art education, and the rest are other required classes plus some you can choose. You usually need a class in math and reading. Not going to a formal art school will not hold you back. If you are getting a Masters then it should be in art education not just education if you are planning on teaching art. The current art teacher job market is dismal. With the economy and the leftovers of NCLB, the art, music, & PE teachers get laid off first.
