Pune: Art Integrated Learning (AIL) is a teaching-learning approach that is based on learning “through the arts” and “with the arts”; it is a procedure in which art serves as the teaching-learning medium and a key to comprehending topics in any curricular subject.
Through a variety of artistic mediums, students engage in creative exploration while making connections between distinct themes. It enables age-appropriate options for learners who can explore at their own pace can be accommodated by the flexibility of the arts. The experiential learning approach is in line with this.
Mr. Chiranjeet Rege, Director, SILICA said “As per National Education Policy, 2020, Art appreciation and art integration are recommended in the core subjects like physics, history, math, etc. The Indian education system is unfortunately not inter-disciplinary and each specialization, including art institutions, remains in isolation, hesitant to handshake with allied and non-allied areas.
Art integration in education can lead to innovative changes in our curriculum, which will open art-based inquiries, investigation, and exploration to an individual. It is likely to lead to critical and creative thinking in the students, making education holistic, multi-disciplinary, and learner-centric”
