M
oore’s Masters in Art Education with an Emphasis in Special Populations is a one-of-a-kind program. The seamless blending of art education and special education practices within the program was exactly what I needed to be able to understand how to more effectually teach my inclusive classrooms of unique students. I appreciated that this was an intensive program in which I could attend classes over two summers, but still have the time to teach during the school year while I took classes online. I’ve always believed that teachers should be learning as much about their students as their students do from them. This program gave me the tools to figure out how to do this with all of my students. I’ve learned how to create and implement time-efficient assessments throughout my lessons that focus on my students’ art-making process and help me better understand how they are thinking about their projects, as well as what support they may need. As a result of my research at Moore, I will help our education director create program-wide art standards and assessments to implement into all of our after-school art classrooms.

HANNA LEE MA ’16, ART EDUCATION
“ I’ve never been much of a public speaker, but Moore’s Art Education graduate program prepares you from the first semester to become comfortable with presenting. From leading a discussion about a reading assignment to presenting my own research, I was challenged to become a better speaker through experience. After graduating, Moore has continued to provide opportunities for me to share my research.”
YAROUB AL-OBAIDI MA ’19, SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART
“ As someone with an industrial design background, I had worked with lighting, tools, furniture and other objects. I started to think about the relation between beauty and function. When I reached Philadelphia, I developed a different experience with art. After I met the artist Michael Rakowitz, my perspective became wider and I started to think more about socially engaged art and how to make the community more engaged. As part of my current work process, I try to tell stories about how the art was made. Stories are an essential part of my process, to increase the sense of belonging between the work and audience [and] to select themes that connect with the community.”
SUKI VALENTINE MFA ’17
“ A primary [benefit of ] my Moore education was learning how to take my ideas and develop them on my own. In many ways, I feel my entire life as an artist has been leading up to this—to have the skill set and the practice and the ability to bring it all together. This was an opportunity to explore my heritage more deeply than I ever have, to connect my ancestry to my art and my practice, and to take this experience back with me to further practice in my studio at home.”

SYMPOSIA, PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITIES There are many opportunities to learn and grow within your Graduate Studies community. Public programs and symposia are ideal spaces to meet and connect with professionals and practitioners who can help you conceptualize and form the building blocks of your own practice. The Galleries at Moore, open and free to the public, provide an ideal backdrop for graduate student exhibitions, including in-progress work and final portfolios.
“ When I was looking at MFA programs, I visited Philadelphia to attend a Moore summer symposium and found myself in a room with other artists and practitioners who were asking the same questions I was starting to ask in my own practice and who had given a great deal of time to seeking answers. My experiences at that symposium were a primary factor in my decision to attend Moore.” —Tim Goldsmith, MFA, ’19 Moore faculty member Li Sumpter addresses Moore Art Education graduate students inside Joy O. Ude’s Patterning Community, part of the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s exhibition Souls Grown Deep: Artists of the African American South. Pictured: Joy O.

I
’ve worked as a professional artist for over 25 years but about two years ago I started to feel something was missing. I always wanted to pursue my MFA but I never felt it was the right time or that there was an institution that could support my schedule of being a husband and father while maintaining my art practice. I realized my dream could be a reality after my first phone call with Moore’s Graduate Studies program director. Initially my goal of achieving an MFA had more to do with wanting to be a college professor rather than honing my skills or making new friends. I could not have been more wrong. The curriculum, my cohort and intimacy of the program broadened my horizons more than I ever thought possible. Moore has prepared me for the second stage of my career with a toolbox that will be useful in whatever direction I choose to explore in the future.

WHY CHOOSE ART EDUCATION AT MOORE? A NOTE FROM LAUREN STICHTER, DIRECTOR OF ART EDUCATION
G
rowing up I found my academics to be very challenging. I struggled even to complete high school. Like many of my students now, I did not fit the “one size fits all” education system that we find ourselves in today. However, I always felt successful in the art room. Not because I was the best artist, but because my art teacher chose to celebrate every effort that I made to express myself. We all have students like this in the art room, don’t we? Whether we have students with IEPs, or special accommodations, or whether these needs are hidden from us, we art educators desire to have an art room that offers a safe and engaging art making experience for all of our students. Here at Moore College of Art & Design, we pride ourselves on offering the only program in the country—our Master of Arts in Art Education with an Emphasis in Special Populations—that equips its graduates with the knowledge, research, strategies and skills to make art accessible to everyone. Our highly trained and experienced faculty are looking for candidates who are curious, who have a sense that something better is possible, and who are bold enough to do the work. When our students research and write their theses, they are making substantial contributions to the field of art and special populations. They develop incredible networks of peers and colleagues to learn from and collaborate with, and their investigations become the research upon which other art educators will build their curriculums and advocate for change in the classroom. COME AND JOIN ME FOR THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND EXPERIENCE. LET’S EXPAND THE FIELD OF ART EDUCATION TOGETHER.

Students come to Moore’s Art Education program with a variety of different interests in terms of who and where they want to serve as educators. For me, that better informs what I teach them and what sort of curriculum I bring to them, so that they feel prepared to enter those realms. Our students start teaching and just take off, because they know that whatever comes at them through that classroom door, they have either seen, worked hands-on with those students, or know how to work with those students.
Within my role as instructor, I believe it is imperative to prepare the teachers of tomorrow, not only with the pragmatic tools needed to best teach, but also to instill the qualities of love and empathy in their everyday approach.
JEAN DRUMM ’87 Adjunct Instructor teaching Introduction to Art Therapy and Behavioral Health in the Classroom
KATE GUGLIOTTA Adjunct Instructor teaching STEAM for Special Populations
[My class] began as a course to help art teachers feel more comfortable incorporating technology into their teaching. In the past four years, it’s expanded into a class that investigates how technology can be used not only as a teaching tool, but as its own art medium. The class also explores the other parts of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics). We examine how, as educators, we can make these lessons accessible for students of all abilities.

WHY CHOOSE SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART AT MOORE? A NOTE FROM DANIEL TUCKER, GRADUATE PROGRAM DIRECTOR, SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART
A
rt today is boundless and exhilarating, between the skills of image-making, the crafting of material, the framing of ideas, and research that exceeds the limits of disciplines. And yet, so often, art programs tend to get stuck in the past, in terms of how the art is taught, where the teaching takes place and who facilitates it. At the nexus of art and research, you’ll find Moore’s graduate programs in Socially Engaged Art, where we take a strong and passionate interest in questioning ideas and ways of making. We ask an important question: What does art look like—or what can it look like—with social engagement at top of mind? Our MFA program in Socially Engaged Studio Art is fundamentally concerned with the role of art in society and offers a curriculum that encourages artists to think across disciplines about critical issues that arise today. Some students may focus more on the internal world of the artist, while others may gravitate toward active collaboration between the artist and their neighborhood or local organizations. Our MA degree focuses on the administration, organization and facilitation of socially engaged art experiences and deep study of the emerging field of community engagement through the arts. With interdisciplinary courses in project management as well as critical race theory and peacemaking, this program provides candidates with the practical, ethical and theoretical tools to both analyze and produce transformative art experiences. AT MOORE WE WILL GROW, INQUIRE, MAKE AND LEARN TOGETHER IN A COMMUNITY UNLIKE ANY OTHER. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU.

It’s really exciting for me to teach in Moore’s Socially Engaged Art program because the questions that are brought up in the classroom are things that I think about through my work. How does art impact the community? What are ways to go in and work with a community? What is the role of visual aesthetics? What are the ethical questions? Philadelphia is an activist city, a city of neighborhoods and rich histories. You can be part of it right now, not just read about it in a history book.
HAMMAM ALDOURI Adjunct Assistant Professor teaching Art History, Theory and Criticism
In our contemporary context, we often take the expression “art practice� for granted, which sometimes leads to unquestioned assumptions about what practice is, what it means and what it does. I think what is distinctive about some artistic endeavors of the last 200 years is that art is increasingly connected to other non-artistic ways of acting and doing. Sometimes these other modes of activity can be as banal as shopping or cleaning and sometimes they can be broad and ambitious, like organizing a festival or protest.
