Art & Design Education - Pratt Institute The Department of Art and Design Education is a dynamic and cross-disciplinary department that endeavors to remain at the forefront of the field.

The Department of Art and Design Education, drawing students from the worlds of art, design and architecture, endeavors to be a dynamic and cross-disciplinary department at the forefront of the field, providing a stimulating, challenging and supportive environment for our students, faculty and staff—passionate educators and learners engaged in creative individual and community practice. In the Art

& Design Education department, engagement in a range of educational endeavors constitutes a creative process modeled upon and nourished by intensive artistic preparation. Students engage in a variety of fieldwork and student teaching experiences in which personal connection between studio, education, art theory and classroom practice are made. Students majoring in Art and Design Education can leave Pratt certified to teach in many states. They can also fashion their own itinerary in a host of alternative careers such as community arts, museum education, and arts administration. We also have a long and distinguished history of community-based practice through our youth programs. The department’s Saturday Art School has served as a community-based laboratory for teacher training since Pratt’s founding. It currently serves more than 400 pupils of all ages and backgrounds from Brooklyn’s diverse communities and provides scholarships for many families who have limited resources. In addition, ADE provides students with opportunities to teach populations that have the least access to art and design education in community settings such as after-school programs in homeless shelters, museums and galleries.
