Visual Art in an Integrated Curriculum
K-12 art educators and administrators
What is the place of art when a school is interested in arts integration? What is the balance of isolated instruction in the art form and collaboration with other disciplines? You will explore these questions in light of SCEA’s concept-based arts integration model.
