Lesson Objective

Participants will generate an art integrated lesson plan based on their specific instructional context by applying learned teaching

Designing an Art Integrated Lesson Plan

As education policymakers went back to the drawing board and transformed STEM education to include art which provides missing elements vital for innovation- design thinking and innovation- STEAM education was born (Sprout, 2019). As STEAM education creates a multi-disciplinary approach that helps educators teach students essential skills for the 21st century.

Now that you have learned why art integration is important and how it can be used in the classroom, you will now create an art integrated lesson plan for your specific teaching discipline or repurpose a previous lesson plan to include art integration. Start by deciding whether you would like to create a new lesson plan or repurpose a previous one, brainstorm which art form you would like to use, and determine how you can use the art form to assist you in expanding student understanding of the content.
