  1. Art integration Eagle Elementary School of the Arts

  2. Our school is unique in that we have an Arts Special, unlike other schools. • We have a schedule that allows all students to attend 5 specials 1-2 times a week. • K-5: Art, Music, PE, Computer, Library. • 3,4,5: Are able to sign up for Orchestra and Band

  3. Why the arts are manifested in the classrooms • Our Superintendent Dr. Clark is a huge advocate of Art Integration because she agrees and sees how it benefits students. • Raises confidence • Reaches all the stages of Bloom’s Taxonomy • Increases test scores

  4. Why the arts are manifested in the classrooms • How arts education benefits students: • Creativity • Critical Thinking • Empathy • Ability to make judgments

  5. Why the arts are manifested in the classrooms • 1. The arts teach children to make good judgments about qualitative relationships.Unlike much of the curriculum in which correct answers and rules prevail, in the arts, itis judgment rather than rules that prevail. • 2. The arts teach children that problems can have more than one solutionand that questions can have more than one answer. • 3. The arts celebrate multiple perspectives.One of their large lessons is that there are many ways to see and interpret the world. • 4. The arts teach children that in complex forms of problem solvingpurposes are seldom fixed, but change with circumstance and opportunity. Learning in the arts requires the ability and a willingness to surrender to the unanticipated possibilities of the work as it unfolds. • 5. The arts make vivid the fact that neither words in their literal form nor numbers exhaust what we can know. The limits of our language do not define the limits of our cognition. • 6. The arts teach students that small differences can have large effects.The arts traffic in subtleties. • 7. The arts teach students to think through and within a material.All art forms employ some means through which images become real. • 8. The arts help children learn to say what cannot be said.When children are invited to disclose what a work of art helps them feel, they must reach into their poetic capacities to find the words that will do the job. • 9. The arts enable us to have experience we can have from no other source and through such experience to discover the range and variety of what we are capable of feeling. • 10. The arts' position in the school curriculum symbolizes to the young what adults believe is important. • SOURCE: Eisner, E. (2002).
