This workshop is designed to explore how visual arts can be integrated into the core subject
areas of literacy, math, social studies, and science to increase student engagement and
promote student achievement. Arkansas A+ Fellows will demonstrate proven strategies for
using visual arts to enhance curriculum and guide participants in exploring basic art-making
techniques. Through art-making, the exploration of famous artworks, and technology use,
participants will expand their teaching toolbox with tools that can reach a wide range of learners.
During the workshop, participants are challenged to discuss and share ideas about how the arts
integration strategies presented can be modified for use in their classrooms. Participants will
leave the workshop with a variety of ideas that they can implement immediately and written
resources that they can access via Google Drive. This workshop includes ideas and resources
for K-6 grade levels.
