9. Arts Integration Is. . .
• An approach to teaching in
which students construct
and demonstrate
understanding through an
art form.
• Students engage in a
creative process which
connects an art form and
another subject and meets
evolving objects in both.
From Kennedy Center for the Arts
10. Arts Integration looks like a conversation
• Sometimes the arts subject speaks
• Sometimes the non-arts subject speaks
• Sometimes the arts subject and the non-arts
subject overlap
Art Science
11. Arts Integration lessons should be
balanced.
• “. . . [M]ust meet evolving objects in both
disciplines.”
• Rigor is important to all disciplines

14. Always consider the abilities of students
when designing arts integrated lessons
• Students under the age of 8
generally are more
interested in the process of
art-making than they are in
the product of art-making.
• Most VAPA educators of
students in grades 3 and
younger agree that when it
comes to learning, process
is more important that the
product.
• This principle applies to any
kind of student art-making
(dance, music, theatre, &
visual arts).
