Arts integration in the foundation phase: 

Arts integration it's an approach to teaching in which learners can able to make or design they're  own creativity and demonstrate understanding through an art form.  And if can engage in a creative process which connects an art form and another subject  the objectives will be the same.  This form of teaching style can address learning outcomes in different subject and develop understanding of concepts, skills through arts ( Silverstein & layne, 2010).

Arts integration helps learners to engage in active teaching and learning activities, experiential learning, collaborative learning, problem-solving skills and reflection.
