Art Integration is an effort on the side of CBSE to bring back the idea of Arts in our lives. In middle school, many schools do promote art through dance, painting, or enactment/ theatre. However, as we grow up, the focus of our education gradually shifts from visual or so to say from the idea of learning to livelihood.
In Circular No. Acad 33/2020 dated 14th May 2020, CBSE has introduced “mandatory Art Integrated project work for classes 1- 10 as part of Subject-Enrichment activities under Internal Assessment”
Art Integration is a cross-curricular pedagogical approach to the process of teaching and learning. It works on a collaboration between the core subject and its propagation through arts (performing/ visual).
Teachers have the responsibility to support the learning of the chosen Indian art form and ensure that students can creatively incorporate the art form(s) into their projects.
This initiative aims to provide CBSE School students with an opportunity to become familiar with the culture, traditions, and geography of additional States and UTs as envisioned in the Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat Programme (EBSB).
Common salt, discoloration of leaves, medicines, etc, most of the things around us are a product of Chemistry. The core of Art integration comes from this realisation that everything we learn has real-life implications. Our Educart Question Banks have an entire feature dedicated to explaining to students the real-life implications of all the concepts in each chapter. And these examples are available for all the subjects with simplified NCERT theory.
Teachers can use some of the real-life references given below to incorporate into art integration projects for Class 10. Some of them are-
Students can be asked to click pictures of monuments, or buildings that represent Mathematics. The example provided here is in reference to the chapter- Triangle. Students can easily connect the pictures they have taken with different concepts and theorems.
This Real-life example has been taken from the chapter- Electricity. Students can be asked to create a project on the electricity supply at their home. They can get creative with it, it can be in the form of a report or a full-length essay with pictures, either way, they should be able to relate the theory applicable at all possible places.
It can also be given as a part of an English project.
This real-life example is from the chapter- Chemical Reactions. Students can perform a theatre centering around the life of a banana and make it humorous, or sad, or present it in any way they want to.
These are some of the ideas teachers can take reference from. And, to know more about Art Integration you can click on the button below.
