Looking for Arts Integration Strategies?
Tired of wading through the internet trying to find and collect creative strategies to use with your students?
Us too.
That’s why we’ve compiled all of our tried-and-true arts integration strategies into one resource. This PDF guide will save you time and make hands-on learning so much easier.
WHAT’S INSIDE THE TOOLKIT?
This complete guide makes it easy to find the creative kickstart you need in your lessons. We’ve split this resource into 3 parts:
WARM-UPS
This section contains short experiences in each of the art forms, designed to be done at the beginning of a lesson. These should take no more than 5-10 minutes to complete. We’ve also included lesson ideas and extensions you can use to pair with these warm-ups.
STRATEGIES
These are activities you can integrate into your lesson to help it take on more depth. These strategies have been separated by art form so you can use what the area you’re most comfortable in to start. Once learned, these activities can be easily added on a consistent basis.
THINKING ROUTINES
These are items that aren’t specific to one arts area, but instead can be used with any art form and any content area. These are meant to become a habit that students use for critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.

BY TEACHERS, FOR TEACHERS
This toolkit has been created and curated by the professional arts integration specialists here at IAS. Combined, we have decades of experience as teachers, administrators, and arts integration leaders. Each of these warmups, strategies, and thinking routines have been used in our own classrooms – so we know they work.
We believe in developing tools, resources, and professional development programs that are practical and relevant. So you won’t find any fluff here. We get right to the good stuff, so you can have immediate results with your students.
