What qualifications do you need to teach elementary school art?

Typically an art teacher needs an education degree for the level they will teach at - elementary ed for lower grades - middle school ed for middle school - high school level for high school (most, but not all states look for an education degree with this kind of age-specific focus) In addition, you would need to have an art specialization. So the result is either an education degree with a heavy concentration in art or an art degree supplemented by the education classes necessary to qualify for an teaching license.
