Arts as text places the focus on the arts as source material. • Arts provide us with tangible reflections, documentation, and responses to the world, events, emotions, and experiences. • When we examine art works closely we are reading them. CA VAPA standards would categorize this as artistic perception. • In Common Core, the use of texts for understanding includes art works on equal grounding with reading word-based texts.

Arts Integration • In the CA VAPA standards, arts integration is in the strand: “Connections, applications, and relationships across disciplines.” • Arts integration can, and does, encompass all the other strands of the VAPA standards. • What is unique to arts integration is the attention on the process of learning in the arts to engage discipline learning outside of the arts, such as math, science, or social studies.
Arts education • Arts education commonly refers to learning the disciplines of the arts: visual arts, music, dance, and theater, as subjects in and of themselves. According to state and federal guidelines – each and every child is required to have an education in and about the arts. This category is the very core of the California VAPA standards, and encompasses each and every strand with the California VAPA standards.
According to national and state directors of title I: • Not only can you use Title I funds for arts integration…. • You should use Title I funds for arts integration!
The bottom line is: kids are capable. Provide them with opportunities for learning and growth.
