Marcia Beckett's blog post "On Teaching Art #3: Integrating Art with Other Subjects" from Art Is Basic offers simple, creative ways to integrate art into science, math, literacy, and social studies. She shares hands-on examples, such as drawing cloud types during weather units, creating symmetrical designs in math, and designing Viking ships or Egyptian art during history lessons. Beckett also includes book-based art projects tied to literacy and links to additional resources, making this a helpful guide for teachers looking to enrich core subjects through art.
tag(s): artists (106)
In the Classroom
While teaching a weather unit, have students draw and label different types of clouds. This visual reinforcement helps younger learners identify cloud types and retain key vocabulary. Introduce symmetry by having students paint half of a shape or design, then fold the paper to create the mirrored image for a fun, hands-on way to explore geometric concepts. During a lesson on early civilizations or explorers, guide students in creating Viking longships using collage techniques to deepen their understanding of history and culture through creative expression. Use a digital tool like Photo Joiner Collage Maker, reviewed here to create the collages online.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

If you want to help students explore the meaning of the season, check out this ReadWriteThink page, which offers a creative, literacy-rich way to welcome winter. This resource guides students in brainstorming winter words and images, reading a seasonal picture book, and using interactive tools, such as a Venn diagram or a postcard creator, to compare their own winter experiences with those in literature. It also encourages reflection on family and community traditions and invites the class to begin a new tradition of their own for the first day of winter. This page is an engaging way to blend ELA skills with seasonal awareness and personal connection.
In the Classroom
Start with a class brainstorming session where students list words, feelings, images, and sounds connected to winter. They can record ideas on sticky notes or a shared chart, just like the activity suggests, to build seasonal vocabulary. Have students design a "Winter in My World" postcard that includes an illustration on the front and a short message on the back describing a personal winter tradition or memory. Inspired by the website suggestion, have students brainstorm ideas for a new classroom tradition to celebrate the first day of winter. They can vote on one tradition, create posters announcing it, and write about why it represents the spirit of winter.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

View this article, a warm and inspiring resource that offers educators and families a lively, nature-based guide to celebrating the winter solstice with children. It begins by explaining the astronomical basis of the solstice, the year's shortest day, and frames the moment as a joyful turning point toward more daylight ahead. The article then shares hands-on activities such as decorating with evergreens, exploring shadows, making pomanders, crafting ice lanterns, and lighting candles or lanterns to welcome the longer days to come. With its focus on outdoor exploration, sensory experiences, and rituals that build community, this resource easily supports lessons on science, seasonal changes, and shared classroom celebrations.
tag(s): crafts (109), earth (187), seasonal (47), seasons (59), sun (87)
In the Classroom
Take students outside to observe and trace their shadows at two different times of day. Have them compare lengths and direction, then discuss how the winter solstice relates to changing sunlight. Have students design and create an ice lantern using molds, natural materials, and freezing temperatures. They can record the steps, observe melting rates, and explain the science behind freezing and thawing. Connect this to solstice traditions involving light. Inspired by the article's ritual ideas, students can create paper lanterns, write wishes or hopes for the growing light, and participate in a short "lantern walk" around the classroom or hallway. Afterward, they write a reflection on why people celebrate the return of longer days.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The "Mix & Move with AI" unit from Code.org is a free, hands-on curriculum that engages students in creating, coding, and choreographing digital media using artificial intelligence. Students experiment with remixing music, designing virtual dancers, and exploring how AI models generate creative outputs. The lessons are easy for educators to use, even without prior AI experience, and include teacher guides, student activities, and discussion prompts that encourage computational thinking, creativity, and responsible AI use. Some videos and tutorials are hosted on YouTube, so teachers should check school access settings before use.
tag(s): artificial intelligence (358), coding (110), dance (42)
In the Classroom
Have students use the interactive platform to design a virtual dancer that moves to a chosen beat. They adjust rhythm, tempo, and style to see how AI interprets movement and music together. Have students remix an existing dance by changing AI-generated moves or music selections. Discuss how machine learning can be creative but still depends on human choices and input. Encourage students to invent their own AI-powered creative project ideas, such as generating a story rhythm, creating a visual art piece with AI, or coding a short interactive show. Then, have them present their prototype or plan to the class.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Have students highlight or annotate key details in a short Kwanzaa article using Kami tools, focusing on symbols like the kinara, mkeka mat, and unity cup. They can share one discovery with the class. Using a free Kami template, have students select one of the seven principles and write a reflection on how that value can be applied in school. Then, add images, icons, or drawings to bring it to life. Groups can collaborate in Kami to design an online poster that explains the meaning behind Kwanzaa traditions. Then have them present their digital display to the class or embed it into a class website to teach others.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
