Art

The Art program prepares students for both scholarly and artistic approaches to art education in high school classrooms. Throughout the program, students develop creative skills for working with a wide range of artistic and cultural media, gain authentic experiences with art, and refine their personal ways of perceiving and expressing ideas. The teaching principle of aesthetic learning equips them to lead interdisciplinary learning situations as well as specialized art classes. Through academically and methodologically reflective studies in art education, they acquire the foundation for professional art teaching practices. The academic, practical, and educational components of the program are aligned with the competencies outlined in § 1 of the Regulation for the Implementation of the Hessian Teacher Education Act (HLbG-UVO). These course offerings are closely interconnected in content.

This degree program has restricted admission (NC) within the university. Admission is determined through a process where 20% of the spots are allocated based on waiting time and 80% based on the average grade of your higher education entrance qualification. Waiting time refers to the period between completing your high school diploma and applying for the program (excluding any time spent studying).
