A Methodology for Learning Five Ways to Integrate

READING & RESEARCH Art integration can be used as a tool to

deepen understanding as well as enhance communication skills.

Art integration extends student understanding by providing a context that connects the subject matter in real, concrete, relevant ways.

Research shows that in art-integrated classrooms students score higher on achievement tests, and demonstrate an increase in critical thinking skills, self-confidence, and retention.

READING & RESEARCH Study in 2001-2002 of 3rd, 4th, and 5th

grade students shows a significant positive relationship between arts integration and student learning.

Research shows that students who have taken art classes score have higher math, verbal, and composite SAT scores than students who do not.

BENEFITS OF ART INTEGRATION Meets the needs of visual and

kinesthetic learners Meets multiple needs with one lesson Allows students to actively engage in

their learning Promotes higher level thinking Can positively influence learning and

test scores
