About this exam
The Praxis Art: Content and Analysis (5135) is a subject-area assessment for prospective art teachers pursuing educator licensure in states or programs that require it. It measures art knowledge and analysis skills relevant to teaching visual art; it is not a standalone teaching license or a general art-school admission test. Whether you need to take the Praxis Art exam, and which score is accepted, depends on your state and certification route. Check your state licensing agency and educator-preparation program before registering.
Praxis 5135 covers areas including the elements and principles of design, visual analysis of two-dimensional works, three-dimensional form and space, and drawing media, techniques, and processes. Candidates need to recognize concepts and apply them when analyzing artworks and artistic choices. The test is computer-delivered and uses selected-response questions; consult the current ETS test information and study companion for its exact format and timing. A focused review of the test outline, followed by timed question practice and careful error review, can help you prepare.
How to prepare for the Praxis Art: Content and Analysis exam
- Use the current ETS Praxis 5135 Study Companion as your checklist. Review each listed content area and note which concepts, terms, or processes need more attention.
- Practice analyzing both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works. Explain how elements such as line, color, space, form, and composition contribute to a work’s visual effect.
