Summary
Are you a history or math teacher looking to improve your curriculum? Perhaps the art program at your school
has been cut and you've been asked to add art to your teaching schedule. Or, maybe you're the administrator who
knows that students who study the arts do better on such tests as the SAT.
Every subject taught in school can be enriched by integrating disciplines. Award-winning teacher Eileen Prince
has developed easy-to-use strategies and lesson plans to help the classroom or art teacher integrate art across
the curriculum.
Teachers will see how the visual arts can be used to inspire creative writing and drama, explore music, math, science,
and history, cultivate critical thinking skills and improve the quality of final projects in any subject. Art specialists
will learn strategies for introducing many other subjects into their lesson plans, as well as strong arguments
for the retention of art in the face of budget cuts.
