Join ASU’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, the largest comprehensive design and arts school in the USA. The extraordinary facilities include the Fine Arts Center, 3,000-seat Gammage Auditorium, the Dance Studio Theatre and the Music Building with performance spaces. The Master of Art program in art with a concentration in art education focuses on issues in teaching and learning from multiple perspectives, including art inquiry, curriculum theory, spatial design, studio practice, visual culture, social intervention, human development and cultural context. The culminating experience may be conducted in a range of contexts where art learning takes place, such as in K--12 art classrooms, art centers and museums, public settings and university studios, or in a teacher's own classroom. In addition to the expansive curriculum, students benefit from the vast resources afforded by a Research I university. Graduates are encouraged to engage with faculty across all disciplines in studio art, art history and museum studies, and with world-renowned researchers from a variety of departments across ASU. Special initiatives also add opportunities for professionalization and for students to learn from and connect with artists and curators. Graduate students are eligible to apply for a studio space at Grant Street Studios, which is located in the cultural hub of downtown Phoenix and includes a common wood shop, printmaking presses, photography darkroom, ceramics kilns, computer lab and 3D print lab.
