Welcome
to Integrated Arts!
In this class, students
learn core concepts in the arts (visual art,
music, drama, and dance).
These concepts
are integrated with other classroom
subjects such as reading,
writing, math, science, and social studies.
Students
learn
about
the arts
as well as
through
the arts. |

The curriculum facilitates
the students' achievement of standards listed in Washington State Arts Grade Level Expectations
(GLEs). Creative movement, singing,
instrument playing, dramatic performances, and experience with
different visual arts media are components of this
class.
Many of the skills required for meeting the state
standards in other academic areas are facilitated and applied in
Integrated Arts as well. Some of these skills are: problem solving,
thinking skills, listening skills, creativity, observation,
comparing, contrasting, explaining thoughts and processes, working
independently and collaborating with others.
