Art Intergration
This NEA article discusses the benefits of integrating the arts into generalized classrooms and different subjects. Using a STEAM approach, schools can add more engagement into their curriculum by adding art activities.
"The key to arts integration is to teach music, drama, and visual arts along with subject-area concepts across the disciplines. As part of an art lesson, students learn geometry by creating abstract art pieces, while also learning about abstract artists throughout history and how math relates to their work. They’ll learn about the painting process, color theory, mixing colors—even how to care for paintbrushes." -Cindy Long
The students learn not only about the subject but also about creative processes. The Kennedy's Center art education has excellent resources for teachers in many subjects. They also include performance arts as well as visual arts education resources.
