The Saturday Art Program is offered in conjuncture with ARTE 31004 Art Education: Teaching Practicum to all KSU art education majors.
This class offers students a guided experience designed to assist them in putting into practice the theories they have learned in ARTE 31001 Art Education Foundation & Concepts, and the application of design and media techniques they have learned in their art studio classes at the KSU School of Art to the teaching of art to children and youngsters from age 4-14.

• Instruct novice-teachers how to teach children and youngsters (age 4-14) in the Saturday Art Program to 1) create art; 2) respond to art; and 3) connect art to their lives.
• Engage student teachers in researching contextual information of contemporary art and converting information into workable lesson plans for different age group to meet the new Ohio State Art Standards.
• Assess and evaluate student teacher's instructional strategies, performance and professional growth.
• Encourage art education majors to become critical, reflective, thoughtful, researching, and problem-solving teacher.
