I found some really great websites, but I still think that
my first go-to site will be Arts Edge. I
think that site is remarkable and has strong lesson plans that applicable to
each greade.
Surprisingly
I found out that Scholastic.com has a strategies for integrating the arts on
the their site. They have it broken down
by grade level, lesson plans, unit plans, and articles on the importance of the
arts. It is by no means anything close
to the ArtsEdge, but it is something that is out there. My big win was finding http://artsintegration.com/ They have
all sorts of information for teachers.
They have Arts Integration ideas for literacy, math, common core
alignment and even STEM!!! I found this website: http://artplantaetoday.com/2011/09/30/why-the-arts-improve-content-retention/ and it was interesting because it is a site
that is arts integrated, but It’s all botanical.
http://www.incredibleart.org/lessons/elem/integration.html
is another site that I found where there are lessons and activities for all
grade levels and genres of art. This
site was the best one that I found outside of the ArtsEdge site. It provides an art gallery and links and
other resources to other art sites. Each
lesson plan is complete with procedures, visual aids, a list of materials, grading
rubrics, and all of the integrated standards.
There is a ton of information on this site!! I even bookmarked this
site.
I will definitely visit arts integration.com and incredibleart.org. I am still looking for more lesson ideas for Math. I hope I will find some from these sites. Thanks Renee.
