Abstract
As defined by the Kennedy Center, 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 area and meets evolving objectives in both” (Silverstein & Layne, 2010, p. 1). In arts integrated lessons, students simultaneously learn content in a form of art and in another subject area. They can then demonstrate their new understanding through the art. Arts integration has been shown to improve learning for elementary students in many different studies in the last couple of decades (Melnick, Witmer, & Strickland, 2011; Rose, Androes, Parks, & McMahon, 2001; Southgate & Roscigno 2009; Thomas & Arnold, 2011).
