Art Integrated Learning: An Innovative and Inclusive Mode of Teaching

Abstract

Art Integrated Learning is an innovative and conceptual teaching method in which learners use a variety of artistic mediums to illustrate, experiment with, and present the material. Art integration into the curriculum involves introducing students to a variety of artistic mediums while they study academic subjects, including facts, ideas, concepts, procedures, methods, and skill sets. Teachers are employing dance, theatre, music, visual arts, etc. to teach a range of academic subjects in a more engaging way rather than teaching art as a separate subject. By incorporating various academic concepts with the arts, classroom instruction can be completely holistic. With this, cognitive domains as well as the development of the socio-emotional, behavioral, and psychomotor domains could be targeted. The goal of the paper is to examine the use of "arts" as a teaching tool and how it affects a child's general learning and development. An art-integrated learning approach is significant because it encourages inclusivity in the classroom and acts as a teacher for the growth of inclusivity.
