Cognitive Processing

Art-integrated lessons utilize methods that improve retention, including semantic elaboration (making meaningful connections), generation of information from a cue, and oral production.

What are we going to learn?

Do you need more reasons to use dynamic content in class? Well: 90% of the information we assimilate comes to us through sight and, moreover, we retain 42% more information when the content moves.

The interactive visual communication step by step:

  • Plan the structure of your content.
  • Give visual weight to key points and primary ones.
  • Define secondary messages with interactivity.
  • Establish a flow through the content.
  • Measure the results.

Music Programs

Improved executive functions such as bimanual coordination, attention, cognitive flexibility, and reasoning

Increased Engagement

Write a subtitle that provides further information

Arts integration supports students' long-term memory and increases their engagement in both classroom activities and overall learning. "Art making" has been shown to boost youth motivation and sustain their interest in learning.

How are we going to evaluate?

We are in the era of the explosion of digital information. This causes our way of obtaining information to have changed, we have transitioned from traditional reading to a cognitive strategy based on navigation.

Digitalbeings

Socialbeings

Beings narratives

We are visual beings

We avoid being part of the content saturation in the digital world.

We need to interact with each other. We learn collaboratively.

We teach through stories. They entertain us and help us stay focused.

We are able to understand images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.

Active Enactment

Students use creative expressions that physically or actively represent the concept. This multi-sensory approach makes learning memorable.

Fostering Equity and Inclusion

Artistic expression and activities with students from different cultures. Expand the embrace of more diverse cultures, fostering inclusion and deeper cross-cultural understanding among peers.

Interdisciplinary Skills

Artistic techniques support interdisciplinary collaboration which foster problem-solving, communication, and innovation skills.

How are we going to learn?
