 * Arts Integration **

Arts integration explores relationships among curricula, content, processes, and skills to find unique ways that the fine arts can be applied across all content areas such as science, social studies, mathematics, and reading/language arts. Students are provided opportunities to solve problems and make meaningful connections within the arts and across disciplines. This encourages the generation of new insights and the synthesis of new relationships among ideas transcending individual content areas. Using parallel instruction, cross-disciplinary instruction, and infusion, methodology, and language from two or more disciplines, one can more effectively examine a central theme, issue, problem, topic, or experience.
