Art integration is a teaching method in which students construct and develop their knowledge through an art form; it benefits all students, including those with disabilities. For me, art integration is not a pointless exercise during the foundation phase, but rather a useful tool that can help learners build self-esteem, as well as promote communication, teamwork, and cooperation among learners. Learners can identify their own strengths and weaknesses.

What did you find interesting?

I find it fascinating that learners can learn outside of the traditional teaching and learning environment, which art integration provides. Learners could use found instruments to learn, as well as music, drama, and drawing. I found it amusing because, based on the videos I've seen, when learners are introduced to new things and ways of learning, they become more active than when they sit and watch the teacher teach all day.

What was the most difficult for you?

The only challenge I've encountered is incorporating art into a setswana class. I just couldn't try figuring out how to do or come up with ideas for incorporating art into a math lesson, but I believe that watching more videos will help me understand better.
