Art to Enhance Learning
Course Description: This course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the benefits of incorporating art into learning. We will dive into the research that indicates arts inclusion increases science and math comprehension, how teachers can incorporate art into their classes, and how arts-based techniques can be used to engage students’ minds, bodies, and emotions in day-to-day learning experiences. Additionally, we will discuss the importance of teaching creativity alongside academics in the classroom setting and explore ways to use art as a “hook” in lessons without requiring any prior training. By the end of this course, you will understand why increased self-confidence and an improved ability to recall information are among the many reasons for introducing art in the classroom.
