Should I be an art teacher? And how do you become an art teacher?

I've been thinking about going into teaching. Because I haven't had the best time in school, so I want to give kids a positive outlook on school if I ever become a teacher. I always said I wouldn't ever be in a school again, because I literally hated school. But everybody I know says I would be a great teacher, and if I were to be a art teacher I would want to teach art to middle school kids (6th grade to be specific). And I've always wanted a job that I would have fun in, and would love to do everyday. And I think since I love art, I could turn my passion into a job for my future. Is there a specific major to teach art... like art education perhaps?? Would I still have to major in education specifically first as a BA? How would I go about doing this? And do different states pay better then others? I know teachers don't get the best salaries, but I would rather be in a job that I'm passionate about then be in a career that people tell me to be in and hate it if that makes sense. Thanks in advance
