The Visual Arts courses allow teachers to sharpen their skills in a variety of areas related to art. Some involve giving students the chance to learn about great artists such as Vincent van Gogh and artistic movements such as post-Impressionism. Others focus on visual arts skills that include drawing, watercolor sketching and the use of paper. Some teach educators how to use art to support students’ perceptual-cognitive development and boost their self-esteem.
At Fresno Pacific University, our expert faculty and quality curriculum make our professional development courses for teachers the perfect way for educators to hone their skills and learn how to better engage their students.

Student Insights
“I really enjoyed this course. I like that the experiences can be modified to fit different grade levels. I can't wait to implement them in class this year!!”
“As a K-8 Art Educator I found this course to be extremely useful and enriching! I now have 20 great projects to use in my classroom... plus the reflection papers really helped me to see how these projects can be integrated with other subjects and how they could be used with our district's SEL initiative! The instructor offered feedback in a quick and timely manner!”
