Why Integrate With the Arts?
As
many teachers know, meaningful integration of the arts with
other subjects is a valuable key to student engagement and
success. Teaching the arts in conjunction
with other subjects helps create flexible thinkers, and
encourages students to synthesize new relationships between
ideas. It also reinforces the arts as core subjects in their
own right.
Arts integration enables students to:
- Discover natural connections among subject areas.
- Deepen understanding of important concepts that transcend individual disciplines.
- Engage in the artistic processes of creating, performing, and responding.
- Think and work using aural, visual, and kinetic modalities.
- Combine knowledge and methods from different disciplines.
- Apply what they learn in one area to challenges encountered in another.
This lesson integrates Math, Science, and Art. Students also utilized writing skills and it fit perfectly with our art through history" focus this year. Centennial is ready to beautify our district STEM Fair! Go CYCLONES!
