CONNECTIONS IN ART
by Cynthia Colbert and Rebecca Brooks

The only interdisciplinary curriculum of its kind

Integrate your curriculum with the art activities students love. This dynamic kit-based program uses fine art prints and discipline-specific lesson cards to promote interdisciplinary learning.

* Teach descriptive writing with Vincent Van Gogh
* Link an art lesson on tessellations with the study of geometric patterns
* Explore the power of scale and the importance of proportion with an Oldenburg sculture.

In grades K through 2 all you need is the all-inclusive Teacher Program Guide and its corresponding set of fine art prints.

In grades 3 through 5, as the instruction and students grow, the lessons are organized in a box with assessment masters and studio masters.

Every Level contains 36 lessons.

* 8 link to Language Arts
* 8 link to Social Studies
* 8 link to Mathematics
* 8 link to Science
* 4 link to Music, Drama & Dance
