Abstract:
When art is integrated into all subjects, students are allowed to be creative, dig deeper, and build skills they would not have any other way. In this study, teachers from various North Carolina counties and various types of schools were given a Google form to express their opinions and thoughts on arts integration. Most teachers believe art integration can affect the cognitive, social, emotional, and motivational learning in students. Though this is what they believe, only a few teachers use art integration in their classroom. According to respondents, a few reasons for teachers not using art integration are time, curriculum constraints, and not knowing how.
