Art (teaching subject)
This page contains automatically translated content.
The subject of art can be studied in the teacher training courses "Primary School", "Hauptschule and Realschule", "Gymnasium" and "Special Education with a Focus on Inclusion". It is not possible to combine the subjects of art and music for the teaching degree at grammar schools.
What is special about the art teacher training course in Kassel is that the subject is studied at an art college. This means that students are in close contact and exchange with other students in the Fine Arts and Visual Communication classes. This makes it possible to get to know and practice a broad spectrum of aesthetic practice and to set priorities in the free and applied fields.

The course focuses on aesthetic practice, which develops and reflects on both artistic and creative ways of working, perceiving and thinking. Building on and referring to the students' own artistic and creative skills on the one hand and their knowledge and methods of art studies on the other, the course develops possibilities for art didactic thinking and action.
In order to study art, you must first pass the artistic aptitude test. The registration deadline for the aptitude test is April 30th of each year. Further information can be found on the website of the art academy (Teaching Art).
Tips for studying art
- Art courses are usually held at the Kunsthochschule Kassel (Menzelstraße 13-15).
- Students who have chosen art for the teaching profession at grammar schools must clarify at the beginning of their studies whether they wish to study the second teaching subject at the "Haupt- und Realschule" level or whether they wish to acquire the teaching qualification for grammar schools. In this case, an extension of the study period is to be expected. The relevant form and further information is available at the introductory event or from the secretary's office at the Kunsthochschule.
- A detailed description of the subject can be found in the current examination regulations.
