Visual Arts Endorsement Course 2024

Through the generous funding of Art Works for Kids, UVU and WSU are collaborating on a pilot project to address endorsement needs!

Led by artist and educator Korryn Coates, this course, Advanced Studio Work and 3D Design, will use ceramics and sculpture techniques to explore the Elements of Art and Principles of Design while developing advanced visual art skills and competencies in ceramics and sculpture for K-12 teachers. This pilot program will offer a Summer 2024 asynchronous + week-long intensive course for Advanced Studio Work and 3D Design (scholarships for travel and registration available)! This course does require a pre-requisite of Ceramics or Sculpture 1 (passed with a C or above or passed endorsement competency). USBE will be hosting a Ceramics/Sculpture 1 course in Spring that students can register for in MIDAS.
