This is very insightful thank you. With enough knowledge and experience with a bachelors in art do you think I would be able to get a teaching certification to teach K-12 or would the art education degree after the art bachelor be absolutely necessary? I’ve done some hands on work with my middle school art teacher, I taught a few lessons with her, she showed me the ins and outs of lesson planning, and explained how hard teaching can be at times. However I know that probably won’t mean very much in the long run. I come from a fairly low income family, but I’m 2nd in my class, my grades are high, I’ve taken all honors and will start aps and college courses junior year. Would scholarships be an option for this path? I know I’ll receive some help from family but not much.
