Things+I+learned+from+the+article+today

I learned that there are 3 components of a preschool (visual) arts curriculum: 1. children create art; 2. children look at and learn about famous artists and artworks, and 3. children are made aware of art in their everyday lives.

I learned in the article today that it is very easy to integrate arts across the curriculum. Our article was about animals in the winter, but there were so many other areas that the teacher was able to infuse with the arts. After reading this article I know its very easy to tie other subject areas into the arts at all agaes and stages and that it can be fun for the students and the teacher as well! Tawnya

I agree the most important thing is integrating the curriculum. As a teacher there are a great many ways to engage children in learning while they think they are just having fun. If you can utilize this as a teacher, you will have a great deal of achievment from your students. Cobey
