ARTS INTEGRATION is…
an APPROACH to TEACHING
in which students construct and demonstrate
UNDERSTANDING through an ART FORM.
Students engage in a CREATIVE PROCESS
which CONNECTS an art form
and another subject area and meets
EVOLVING OBJECTIVES in both.
Why choose this approach to education?
Arts integration can have a profoundly positive effect on student learning and engagement. Students have multiple opportunities to enhance critical thinking skills by making connections across arts and academic disciplines. Teachers of arts integration observe that students enrich and deepen their academic knowledge while developing their creative expression. At the same time, students demonstrate greater understanding of the importance of the arts and the evolution of human thought and expression.
