Study unit 4

The integration of arts into learning has taught me a lot on becoming a great future teacher as well as how to incorporate fun activities into my lesson. Integrating arts into my lessons would be a great way for children to express themselves, become more confident, while engaging with other students, teachers, parents and the extended community. Arts integration in the classroom allows active learning while incorporating other subjects into the lesson.

Arts in the foundation phase can allow children knowledge of how different cultures work, they can have a broader understanding on how life outside works, the different society’s we live in, while enhancing many skills a child could need in their future endeavours.

Integration of arts can be used through making music by using your body (Body percussion). Body percussion can be used to make your own beat, which can incorporate Life skills into a lesson. Life skills could be a child recognising a certain body part: clapping their hands, stomping their feet, touching their knees and so forth. Mathematics could also be integrated while using arts: clap your hands 5 times to the beat, stomp your feet twice and snap your fingers 4 times could allow children mathematical skills whiles integrating arts.

We can have multiple discussions regarding music and arts integration as it is so much fun!!!!
