http://www.crayola.com/lesson-plans/dressing-pets-lesson-plan/
This website has a lot of lessons plans that you can search by subject area, categories,
and grade. Students will choose an animal, pick a possible career for the animal, and
draw the animal in the uniform and environment. Then either write a descriptive story or
poem about the animal in their drawing.

Explore how illustrations contribute to the telling of a story by creating illustrations to
accompany text, and then creating text to accompany illustrations. Students will explore
picture books (without words) and discuss the specific elements of the illustrations that
"tell" the story. They will learn to "read" illustrations as they look at the ways in which
pictures reveal information about the characters, setting, and plot of a story.

(this is just so you can see what the book looks like and how to purchase it).
LOVE this lesson plan. The teacher reads the book Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy to
the class. Then they do a trifold of drawings, showing their favorite playground activity,
their friends favorite playground activity, and a fun activity they played by compromising
with a playmate. This is followed up by partner discussion.

Lesson: Lets Talk About Painting
http://artsedge.kennedy-center.org/educators/lessons/grade-k2/Lets_Talk_About_Painting This lesson helps teach students how to discuss paintings
and the different types of art. Students will learn different vocabulary about art. The
teacher will read a book to the students; they will discuss art, and if time students could
create their own art that follows the criteria of the lesson. It is a way to teach students
about different types of artwork but also expanding their vocabulary.

Ways to Bring the Arts into Your Classroom
http://www.teachhub.com/12-ways-bring-arts-your-classroom
I love this website! This site gives teachers 12 creative and subtle ways to incorporate
Art into everyday lessons. My favorite method is number four: create a memory dance.
When students are learning something that has a lot of content, they are able to make
up a dance to remember it. It also gets the students to burn some energy and possibly
become more enthused about the topic that theyre covering. This method could be
used when learning about vocabulary, grammar rules or other major concepts that could
be thought of as confusing to students. I did something similar in highschool with the
bone structure in the human body, believe it or not I still remember most of the dance
and that was four years ago!
(Victoria Butler 1/13/2016) Writing Scrapbook Lesson
http://educationcloset.com/2011/11/18/writing-scrapbook-lesson/
This website provides lesson plans for teachers to integrate art into their classroom. It
focused on all subject areas, but the one that I chose focuses on students exploring
outside, collecting objects, then making them into a scrapbook, with a written
explanation of the meaning of the objects.

Animal Action Art Integration Lesson Plan of the Week
http://educationcloset.com/2011/05/06/animal-action-art-integration-lesson-plan-of-theweek/
This website provides a variety of lesson plans that teachers can use to integrate art
into their classrooms. The lesson that I chose to focus on is one that involves
movement, music and writing. This lesson is a great way for the students to be able to
create descriptive sentences, by describing the animals that they are listening to in the
music and then using movement as part of the process of displaying what they hear.
(Kyla Masserant 1/14/16) - Arts Integration for Language Arts: The Magic Opera:
Reading and Music Lesson Plan
http://i0.wp.com/educationcloset.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/the-magic-operalesson.jpg
I like this lesson because it involves reading and music. It emphasizes comprehension,
plot, melodic patterns, and knowledge of a classical composer. I also like that its an
easy lesson plan for a teacher who doesnt have much of a musical background like
myself.
(Jessica LaLone 1/14/16) Arts integration for language arts: Language arts
http://schooltalkdev.palmbeach.k12.fl.us/groups/artsintegrationgrant/wiki/0f92d/Languag
e_Arts.html
This website provides lesson plans for teachers that involve language arts and art
integration. I chose to focus on one for 1-3rd graders titled: Cinderella vs. the Bullies:
Exploring Character Traits, Music, & Movement to Respond to Bullying. This lesson
allows comprehension of literary text using reading, comprehending, interpreting and
analyzing. It also helps students learn about bullying. Students act out what they
learned from the story such as bullying that was displayed and anti-bullying strategies
that were used.
(Ryan Glaser 1/19/16) Arts Integration for Social Studies: Islamic Tile Design, Our
Artistic Heritage: Art Forms and Media (Art and Social Studies)
http://thewalters.org/assets/pdf/lesson-plans/our-artistic-heritage.pdf
This site provides multiple different art integration lesson ideas. The goal/purpose of the
lesson is; Students will understand Islamic design elements by drawing and creating a
clay tile. I chose this lesson because I like how it utilizes and teaches students on a
minority culture in America. I want my students to not only have arts integration, but also
cultural integration. The better we can understand the different cultures of this world the
better off well be as a country in the future.
Ryan Glaser 2/2/16) Arts Integration for Social Studies: Mapping the past, Mapping the
present)
http://thewalters.org/teachers/resources/lesson-plans/mapping-the-present.html
This lesson idea is taken from the same source as my first. The lesson plans are pretty
vague; which I actually like myself. The basis of the lesson is comparing old maps to
new maps and seeing the changes through time. Additionally students will learn
valuable mapping reading skills. This lesson can expanded to have students create their
own maps of some kind. Depending on how its structured this lesson can be used from
2nd grade through 12th grade.

This website contains several arts integration lessons for grades K-12. You can also
search lessons based on grade band or art form (dance, literary arts, media arts, music,
theater, visual arts, or all). There are several lessons for history but also other subjects.
Over 100 great lessons for art integration!
(Rachel Hellar 1/20/16) Arts Integration for Social Studies: Living Museum
https://mrsswansonsclass.wikispaces.com/Living+Museum
The Living Museum is an interactive art integration activity that I remember from when I
was in fifth grade. Students are expected to research, write about and eventually
become a historical figure. By making costumes and designing sets, students are
creating visual art using multiple different mediums. Role-playing by performing
speeches as their character encourages the dramatic arts and allows students to fully
understand and engage the content.

Coming to America Lesson Plan (Art and Social Studies)
http://educationcloset.com/2011/06/10/coming-to-america-lesson-plan/
This site has plenty of art integration ideas for use across the curriculum but I like this
one because of the movement and thought processes involved. The lesson uses a
technique called tableau which is the creation of scenic still pictures with your body.
This term was new to me so I did a little research to gain better understanding. I found a
video that shows this technique being demonstrated within the classroom. I think the
whole video is useful but if you want to see specifically the modeling of tableau, skip to
the six minute mark. http://dramaresource.com/drama-strategies/tableaux/ . The
students have to think about how the scenery might look, how characters might feel,
etc. They may even play inanimate objects. There is a lot of thought and imagination
that comes into play with this lesson and with this technique.
(Sloane Leppen, 1/21/16) Arts Integration For Social Studies: Integrating Arts: Chinese
http://thewalters.org/integrating-the-arts/china/
This site has plenty of ideas on how to incorporate Chinese into Language Arts,
Mathematics, Science, and social studies.
Allyson Roberts, (1/21/16) Social Studies integration lesson.
https://artsedge.kennedy-center.org/educators/lessons/grade-34/Harriet_Tubman_Dancing_on_the_Freedom_Trail This lesson is about Harriet
Tubman and the struggles she faced on the Underground Railroad, students use
theatre, and music in this lesson.
Nate Polich, (1/21/16) Social Studies integration lesson.
https://artsedge.kennedy-center.org/educators/lessons/grade-3-4/Musical_Harlem
This lesson has students listening to musics of the Harlem Renaissance and getting to
know the musicians and understand the history and culture of the Harlem Renaissance.

https://www.teachervision.com/drama/social-studies/6535.html?for_printing=1
This website is filled with different lesson plans and resources for teachers, one of
which being Reader's Theater. By integrating Social Studies into Reader's Theater,
students are acting out different scripts, developing their content area knowledge and
oral reading skills.
(Holly Ripard 1/20/16) Arts Integration for Social Studies: Personal Coat of Arms
http://thewalters.org/teachers/resources/lesson-plans/
I am including this website in general because it looks great. It has lots of lessons that
all integrate art into many different subjects for all different grade levels. It is important to
me at least when I am looking for these sorts of lessons or ideas that I can access
them fast and that they are free and with this website that is exactly what you can do. All
the lesson plans are downloadable for free and complete with everything you would
need to know about the lesson!
Holly Ripard
http://thewalters.org/assets/pdf/lesson-plans/personal-coat-of-arms.pdf
The Coat of Arms lesson is one where the students learn about knighthood and how like
was as a knight. This lesson is a few days long and includes background knowledges
and lots of discussion, but eventually the students will create their own visual arts piece
which will be a personal coat of arms. This lesson seems like a lot of fun and integrates
social studies and art well.

This is an Arts Education Advocacy toolkit put together by the Kennedy Center. It was
created as a resource for those interested in developing the knowledge, skills, and
habits to be effective advocates (p. 5). The toolkit focuses on three main topics: the
habits of effective arts education advocates, the power of coalitions and networking, and
the components of an effective arts education advocacy plan.

http://artsedge.kennedy-center.org/educators/lessons/grade-3-4/Chinese_Instruments
This is a research/advocacy project by the Kennedy Center based on Chinese
Instruments. Students will learn and research about the Chinese culture. They will do
this in many different ways. After researching and learning about the instruments
students will do a performance, make their own instruments, present to the class, and
also make a story up in regards to their instrument. There are so many different things
in this one lesson that it will be able to help a large range of students with different
learning structures.

Americans for the Arts is a resource whose role is to connect national, state, and local
efforts to improve or advance arts education. You can become a member or donate to
the cause. They post articles and can help you take action for art education. It is a good
resource to have available.

law makers are trying to reauthorizing the NCLB act to exclude the part about art
education, as stated this article Arts Education: Creating Student Success in School
Work and Life or http://afa.3cdn.net/8e3a2547433204e8e8_x0m6bny1l.pdf which the
webpage is about. The article is about the achievements and success students have
through the arts.

the classroom and the research that is being done in this field.
(Samantha McHone 3/3/16) Art Education and Advocacy or Research:
This is a lesson that explores the usage of research and adding art into it. It is ideal for
5th grade students and it allows students to research about world explorers. They will
conduct print and online research about the different explores and how the explorers
were able to conduct the exploring. Students are required to create become the explore
and figure out what they were thinking and feeling theyre also required to create a map
of the explorers route. This lesson is very engaging, it is split into five groups: engage,
build knowledge, apply, and reflect. I feel as if this is a perfect way to start to
introduction to explorers because it gets the student involved and excited about what
theyre learning.

Art Integration Advocacy Speech Video on Youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coW3HpXQURU
This video provides an accurate speech to why integrating the arts in the classroom is
important. I agree with everything that was said in the video. When art is integrated in
the classroom, students will learn and remember better and it will last for years to come.
Students mental, physical and emotional abilities also get better when art is integrated
in their classroom. Everyone has to be an advocate for the arts, not just the teachers
and school staff. We need to get parents, family members and especially political
leaders on board. Art Education is just as important as Math and Science and Art can be
used to teach the other subjects as well. Many people dont realize how important art is
until they learn more about it. I know because I use to be in the same boat until I started
to learn more about it. I always thought that you had to be artistic, musically inclined or
great at acting to teach art education, but its not true. Anyone can do it. I love how she
said that every student learns differently and most of the time, a student will remember
something easier when the student is engaged. I also liked how she said that art
education helps activate your prior knowledge, which is completely true.
(Victoria Butler 1/13/2016) Why Art is Basic Education
https://www.goshen.edu/art/ed/help.html
This article discusses that it is important to to teach all students art education. Art
education has shown an increased ability in performance in all forms of art, including
literature and writing skills because it improves the ability to communicate complex
ideas.
(Stephanie Sczomak 3/3/16) Arts Advocacy and Research:
This article discusses research that supports arts education and how it helps students
gain skills in areas such as persistence, creativity, collaboration, motivation, and critical
thinking. The Arts Education Partnership (AEP) synthesized over 200 research studies
to publish the article Preparing Students for the Next America: The Benefits of Arts
Education. The research found that arts education helped students improve in core
academic areas including literacy and math, as well as educational skills such as
motivation, problem solving, and civic engagement. These are skills that the American
education system is shifting focus toward as we become a more information based
economy. http://www.aep-arts.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Benefits-of-an-ArtsEducation-Release.pdf
(Meg Heatley 3/3/16) Arts Advocacy:
This is talking about how with no child left behind we are forgetting about the arts within
the class. Integrating arts into the educational system opens up opportunities to
students, they also stated children in low income households benefit from the variety of
free arts available. This article provides all of the information that i would say are
important to advocate for child.

as obvious such as Model a [new] drama technique with a scene from a familiar story
or Pre-determine the dramas end and of course they tell you how to do it. A bonus is
that after the initial article, there are more that pop up like Setting the Stage for

Allyson Roberts 3/31/16 Art Integration and Math
http://educationcloset.com/2012/05/15/ways-to-integrate-art-and-math-in-anelementary-classroom/
This site has several different math lessons that integrate art. Some examples it has
are: making snowflakes and studying symmetry, cutting geometric shapes to create a
collage, using ratios to make paint mixtures, and making measurements to make frames
for art projects just to name a few. It also provides links to other sources on math and
art integration which is great! I love a one stop shop for resources!!
A wonderful video shared by Meg:
https://www.facebook.com/Channel4News/videos/10153612286371939/?pnref=story
Demonstrates how the arts can be integrated with moderate to severe cognitively
impaired high school students. Challenges our preconceived ideas of what such
students can do! Thanks, Meg.

Lauren Warner - Cool Math 4 Kids - http://www.coolmath4kids.com/0-geometry-mathart.html (arts integration and math)
This is actually a website that I used when I was in elementary and middle school to
practice math. There is an entire section that integrates art into the math activities. This
would be great to give students as an independent learning resource.
