What exactly does "art integration" imply?

Art Integrated Learning (AIL) is a teaching-learning approach based on learning 'through the arts' and 'with the arts': it is a process in which art is used as a medium for teaching-learning and as a key to understanding concepts in any topic of the curriculum. Arts Integration is a teaching method in which students use an art form to create and demonstrate understanding. Students participate in a creative process that relates an art form to another subject area while also meeting changing goals in both.

What is the significance of art integration?

Arts integration engages students and allows them to construct and display understanding in a variety of ways. Teachers can use arts integration to rethink their responsibilities and connections with pupils. Teachers can use arts integration to rethink their responsibilities and connections with pupils.

Play is prevalent in many African cultures and the wider African setting, where we frequently see characteristics of play when individuals participate in music and dance activities. In children's culture, there are three forms of play: tradition, open, and unique play. Traditional play is a highly structured type of play in which children must adhere to rules. Open play is a type of improvisation that is governed by rules that can be adjusted according to the requirements of the children while they are playing. Original play is imaginative and focused on a sense of wonder. Original play is mostly a solo activity in which the player amuses himself with items, actions, and sounds.

What's noteworthy about arts integration is that it's one of the most effective methods for a diverse group of kids with diverse interests, aptitudes, learning styles, and experiences to come together and establish a community of active learners who take charge of and ownership of their own learning. It encourages students to use the arts to convey their mastery of topics and abilities while simultaneously supporting teaching and learning techniques that focus on many outputs at the same time. What I found difficult was understanding the theoretical framework for arts integration in foundation phases and its components, which can be complex and difficult to grasp.
