Teaching Core Content Through Art

3/18/2021

Art IS the hub of the educational wheel.

The videos below will show just some of the ways I include core content into my art classes. I am not a proponent of "Art for Art's Sake" in a public school setting. Only 2% of students will go on to an art-related career. I do know that art is a powerful educational tool and that my students out perform their non-art involved peers by significant margins... like over 150 points higher on their SAT exams, and higher on their ACT exams.

If you feel any of this would be helpful for your districts or is the focus of professional development your school is looking for, please click HERE.
