Arts in education
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arts in Education is an expanding field of educational research and practice informed by investigations into learning through arts experiences. It is distinguished from art education by being not so much about teaching art, but focused on:
- how to improve learning through the arts
- how to transfer learning in and through the arts to other disciplines
- discovering and creating understanding of human behavior, thinking, potential, and learning especially through the close observation of works of art and various forms of involvement in arts experiences
Arts integrated learning is a way to teach artistic skills in conjunction with academic material. this approach to education values the process and experiential learning as much as creation of art object or performance oriented learning.
