This is a topic that I’m passionate about. Teaching Language Arts, I really try and incorporate as much art into my teaching as I can. There is so much to relate back to the literary elements of the curriculum and art appreciation is a way to draw kids in visually to what you’re trying to teach them.
I really wish our students at Mt. Blue High School were closer to some of the great art museums in this state. Luckily, the internet has made it easier for them to go out and find art themselves that can relate to the curriculum. They can access museum websites but they can also create their own art through photography, film, and web illustrating that they never could use before. The internet has been a great way to bring art into the classroom more.
