Curriculum Connections: The Artistic Possibility of Words
Quinn, Robert D.
Kappa Delta Pi Record, v42 n2 p88-91 Win 2006
In this paper, the author describes a partnership between the preservice elementary education students and preservice art education majors at a local university in Georgia. The goal of this partnership was to implement an interdisciplinary curriculum in the general classrooms of nearby Boulevard Elementary School. The educational objectives of the art education and general education courses were altered to reflect the importance of the interdisciplinary approach to teaching. Some major goals of the courses were to examine and implement ways to integrate art into other core subjects in general classrooms, to develop art lessons from core subject learning objectives; and to build relationships. These objectives were brought to life through the process of planning, preparing, and teaching arts-rich lessons about the power of words.
