Answer 2

You only really have to do two things. Major in visual arts (or something similar like art appreciation) and get your degree in that.

Other than that, you just need your teaching certificate.

Good luck.

Answer 3

There are degrees in Visual Arts Education. Learning to do art is one thing and an important ingredient but you also need to learn teaching skills AND how to teach Visual Arts. In most states you will need to have a Master's Degree and a teaching license. Good luck.
