WHAT

WHATS ARTS INTEGRATION?

Arts integration is an approach to teaching where the arts (e.g., music, dance, drama, or visual arts) are woven into lessons from other subject areas such as math, science, language arts, or social studies. The goal is for students to learn both the art form and the academic content at the same time.

WHY

WHY IT WORKS

Arts integration is a powerful educational tool because it unlocks how kids naturally learn. This type of instruction utilizes the whole brain and hands-on experiences to connect academic content to real life. It supports different learning styles, bolsters relationship-building skills, and naturally boosts motivation.

HOW

HOW TO USE OUR LESSONS 

Our Arts Integration Kit Lesson Plans are designed based on books for school aged children in grades K-12. Using the recommended book, suggested art supplies, and a little imagination, you will explore the characters, settings, and themes in a whole new way. You do not need to be a trained artist or teacher - just be willing to play, create, and explore.
