What this school system fails to recognize, is that children need to find interest in the material. They need to have motivation for reading stories from the curriculum. Our students will find this motivation if we give them a way to learn through creation. Through art-based enrichment projects, students will have the opportunity to learn in an "outside the box" manner. While reading stories, they will learn comprehension strategies through self-made graphic organizers, through individual and group projects, and through creating in different mediums. While learning math concepts like geometry and computation, students may create artistic representations that help them apply these concepts to real life. Learning about social studies and science would be dramatically enhanced through artistic projects like creating maps, drawing or painting living things, and making different animal habitats with crayons, paints, or clay.
