Art as a Method of Teaching Required Subject Matter: Grades Three and Four

This study is primarily concerned with the use of art in public schools to enhance curriculum currently required by the State Department of Education. It is an attempt to incorporate some personal expressions of relevant experiences of children into their education, making the learning process easier and more enjoyable to both children and teachers. Too often children are bored with the way subject matter is presented and become indifferent about learning. Using techniques and applications of art to teach subject matter arouses interest in subjects and learning tends to become a process of which students are not even aware. It is hoped that the implications of this study may be applied to a more effective and enjoyable education for students. The desire for increased personal experience with art as an aid in the learning process, was also fulfilled through this study.Housing and Interior Desig
