Art integration is an approach to teaching in which learners construct and demonstrates their understanding through an art form, it supports all learners including those with disabilities. Art integration for me is not a waste of time for foundation phase but rather a useful tool which could help build self-esteem of learners , could promote communication, teamwork and cooperation among learners. Learners are able to discover  both their strong and weak points.

What did you find interesting?

I have found it interesting that learners are able to learn outside the teaching and learning environment which is something that art integration offers. Learners could learn using found instruments, they can learn through music, dramatizing and drawing. I found it interesting because from the videos I have watched learners get excited when introduced to new things and ways of learning they become active rather that they do when just sitting and watching the teacher teaching all day.

What did you find difficult?

The only thing I have found difficult is integrating art in a math class. I just couldn't understand how one could do or come up with ideas of integrating art in a math lesson but I think watching more videos will help me understand better.
