The document discusses a study conducted by four educators to increase student motivation in art and music classes. They implemented a four-part intervention involving discussions about popular music/art, having students express how music/art makes them feel, comparing experiences with and without sound/images, and introducing humanizing artists. Pre- and post-tests and observations were used to assess engagement and perception of relevance. Results varied between placements, with some seeing more participation and interest but no significant statistical changes.
