Art in Education


Art has proven to be very beneficial to students. For it is through art, that many students can express themselves, create meaning, and be creative! Today there are so many schools that do not integrate the arts (music, movement, drama, and fine art) into their curriculum. The reasons why there has been such a fall-out of using the arts is because of the lack of time and money that many believe needs to be spent on the arts to be able to teach it effectively. However, what many teachers do not realize is that they can easily integrate the arts within their lesson plans, and use it to relate to other subjects without having to spend any time or money at all. For some teachers, being able to find the right resources to use to integrate the arts can be very difficult and time consuming. But by going to http://incredibleart.org/ teachers can find a number of different sources, information, and lesson plans on fine art that they can use. This site provides lesson plans specific to grade levels, subjects, etc. It also provides resources such as books, art supplies, and even information about specific artists and their work of art that teachers can use to help teach art and integrate it into their classroom. This website is a great source for teachers to use to bring back art into education!
