Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0152 - Learning With and Through the Arts: A Hands-on Exploration of Arts Integration

In mainstream U.S. culture, the arts are frequently considered secondary rather than integral to education, leading to limited resources and recognition. This is often a disadvantage for those who learn best through creative, hands-on learning. In this course we will explore the concept of project-based learning with and through the arts. We will consider theories and practices aligned with arts integration. Through hands on explorations, which include performing arts, creative writing and visual arts we will be investigating and experiencing ways of learning through artistic engagement while developing curriculum appropriate for learners of all ages Keywords:Art, learning, education, arts integration, art education
