Episode 102: Incorporating STEM in the Art Room
Laura and Matt GrundlerCarole Drummond-Johnson
Integrating STEM themes into your lessons could be the key to immersing students in art! It’s our goal to reach all learners, and STEAM is a sure-fire way to appeal to students that may not be excited about art otherwise. This week our guest host is elementary educator Carole Drummond-Johnson. She states, “if we are truly about the business of teaching 21-century skills, shouldn’t art & design be integrated with science, technology, engineering and math?” Starting STEAM-focused lessons and projects with elementary students opens them up to new and exciting ways of seeing, thinking about, and using art right from the start. Consider your thoughts on these ideas as you listen in.
