the arts in everyday learning
Arts Education is about more than just painting and pirouettes. The structures used by artists to create everything from scripts to sculpture can be applied in any content area. Our Professional Development series helps classroom teachers infuse their curriculum with projects that not only encourage goal setting, creative problem solving, and structured collaboration, but also produce a polished product that students can be proud of.
