Arts Integration is important because it:
- Helps learners to develop creative problem-solving skills.
- Presents difficult concepts visually, making them easier to understand.
- Helps children with the development of motor skills, language skills, social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, and inventiveness.
- Builds greater understanding across disciplines, supporting authentic experiences that engage and motivate learners.
- Improves academic achievement, increases student engagement, and boosts social and emotional development.
- Improves students’ long-term retention of content and benefits students’ non-academic skills.
Arts integration helps students access content, process their learning, create products, and work in a productive and supportive learning environment in ways that take into account individual readiness, interest, and learning profile.
