The awarding units of the two masters are different, and the research direction of the degree is also different. Art pedagogy is an art major under literature, which specializes in art research and belongs to the University Academy of Fine Arts. The course is mainly about fine arts, and the theoretical course is also about fine arts pedagogy, fine arts teaching materials and methods, fine arts history theory and fine arts skills. Subject teaching theory (art) is the curriculum teaching theory under pedagogy, and art is only a small part. Teaching is mainly based on pedagogy courses, with a little art, and diplomas are also pedagogy. Generally, it is taught in the College of Educational Sciences of universities.

So if you are an art major, you'd better take the art pedagogy, which is relatively simple and your English score will be lower.

I majored in art history, and later my postgraduate entrance examination was transferred to American education. To tell you the truth, I'm sad. I still like art history. I am now a graduate student in American education. If I graduate, I can only be a primary and secondary school teacher. If I study art history, I can work in art galleries, museums, magazines and other places. Moreover, the two majors learn very different things. To tell the truth, art history majors should read more books and think more. Maybe it's also my prejudice. If I had a choice, I would be a beauty pageant champion.
