Intergrating Art into the Classroom

Integrating Art in the Classroom
Suggestions for Art Integration
Integrating art into the core curriculum makes learning relevant and long-lasting. How does this happen? An art project may supplement a Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, or Science lesson. Thinking skills are increased through terminology and strategy application and may provide the student a better understanding of the core curriculum.
