Rationale for Integrating the Arts

Art in the integrated curriculum is an innovative and effective educational process that students can learn through art. The purpose of the program is not to teach art but to use them in regular courses. These activities use art as a catalyst that makes learning meaningful and motivating. Students learn best when actively learning. Art provides the opportunity for students to actively participate in learning. Students are more likely to retain knowledge and information while participating in the learning process.

Art integration is a teaching method that uses art and entertainment as the main way of learning. Artistic integration differs from traditional education in that it incorporates both art and traditional disciplines into learning (for example, studying discrepancies in writing using improvisational theater techniques). At the same time, I will deepen my understanding and appreciation of art and entertainment. John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts "art integration" is an educational method that students build and demonstrate understanding through art forms and participate in a creative process that links art forms to different themes to achieve evolving goals We define it.

For more than 30 years, John F. Kennedy Center for the Arts in Washington DC has offered educational opportunities for educators. In the local area, the Kennedy Center offers professional learning through the Transformation Art Education (CETA) program to Washington DC educators who practice art integration and teach art forms in the classroom. In order to develop a university art fusion culture, the CETA School Network will work with the Kennedy Center to engage their teachers in rigorous specialized research focused on art integration. CETA plans to expand the influence of art integration on students, teachers and school culture through numerous evaluation studies. In order to contact nationwide educators, the Kennedy Center organized an annual artistic integration conference where educators actively explore the concepts and strategies of art integration.
