    Hello:
    I presume that you intend to continue teaching art. You do not mention at what grade level or if you will work with special populations. These are important considerations.
    Based on your general question and presuming that your psych needs will be basic and relative to typical teaching, I would recommend the following. My suggestions are based on group dynamics, personality, and useable knowledge you can apply to teaching. They are not the most difficult or complicated courses.
    #320, #341, $405.
    If you have other questions, or if I can be of further assistance, please feel free to ask.
    Best wishes to you. Don't let the titles or the fact that psych is not your major or most favorite topic. These are all great course and can be very useful to you.

    The course profiles are all available on luonline. Have you reviewed them to see the workload?

    I just finished my bachelor's in psychology at Liberty. If you are planning on keeping your career in education, chose the following classes:

    365 Psychlgcl. Foundations of Learning
    345 Exceptional Child
    320 Behavior Management

    If you are not intending to teach and just want some pretty interesting classes, chose these:

    371 Theories in Coun. & Psychotherapy
    430 Abnormal Psychology
    405 Group Dynamics

    Personally, I wouldn't chose the easiest classes if I were you. However, Theories in Counseling & Psychotherapy was very easy for me and so was abnormal psychology.

    Please be advised that you may need to take certain prereqs. before you can take certain classes. I believe 341 Psychology of Personality is one of those classes that are required to take before you can take other classes. That class was very difficult for me because it was a lot of reading, involving complex theories, research, a lot of writing, and huge test taking. It was one of those classes that made me work for the "A" letter grade.

    Best of luck to you!
