Art Integrated Into Science CurriculumBy: Kylee York

Visual

Pedagogy

+Why I Chose This

Science=challenging subject

Many different topics that could use various instructional strategies

Science and art are left out more in curriculum due to high standards for reading and math

+Science and Visual Arts

“Art and science have their meeting point in method.” –Earl Edward George Bulwer-Lytton

“During human progress, every science is evolved out of its corresponding art.” –Herbert Spencer

+Research

Artistic expression enhances a student’s ability to: Communicate science explanations Engage in science Communicate ideas to the public

Deepens understanding of complex topics using a hands-on approach

Students can learn from interaction with each other and their products

+Research

Teachers can design lessons according to specific needs, abilities, or interest of the students

Multiple viewpoints can be presented

Extend lessons

Enhance the effectiveness of the lesson

+Connect to Readings

Fountas & Olson: Observation of images Communicate verbally to visually or visually to verbally

Oreck: Push for test scores eliminates creativity and enhances

autonomy Diverse abilities in learners

Eisner Arts can help play a role in human development Art is a way of expression and discovery

+Examples

+Examples

+Lesson: Life Cycle of a Butterfly

Standard: SC.2.3.1 2000 Investigate by observing and then describe in some way that some events in nature have a

repeating pattern, such as seasons, day and night, and migrations.

Activity Read The Life Cycle of a Butterfly By: Bobbie Kalman

Draw a spiral on a paper plate and cut out

Draw, cut out, and color a green leaf

Draw, cut out, glue tiny white circles on leaf

Draw, cut out, and color a caterpillar

Draw, cut out, and color a pupa (cocoon)

Draw, cut out, and color a butterfly

Take the four individual pieces, and hole-punch a hole in them

Tie a piece of string to each of the four pieces and tape the strings to the underside of the spiral

Tie the leaf with the egg closest to the top of the spiral, the caterpillar second closest to the top, the pupa third, and the butterfly the farthest away so that it hangs down in order

+Connect to Teaching Philosophy

I Believe In: Hands-on learning Variety of instructional strategies Strengthening ability in multiple content areas

Art is another form of communication comprised of it’s own language

Art is an open canvas with an endless amount of opportunity
