WHAT ENGAGING IN ARTS
INTEGRATION BRINGS OUT IN KIDS
1) WONDER
“IF I HAD INFLUENCE WITH THE GOOD FAIRY WHO IS SUPPOSED TO PRESIDE
OVER THE CHRISTENING OF ALL CHILDREN, I SHOULD ASK THAT HER GIFT TO
EACH CHILD IN THE WORLD BE A SENSE OF WONDER SO INDESTRUCTIBLE THAT
IT WOULD LAST THROUGHOUT LIFE.” RACHEL CARSON
2) DESIRE (AND CURIOSITY)
3) PASSION
▪ “If we do not treasure
our individualists, we
will lose the spirit of
innovation, inquiry,
imagination, and
dissent that has
contributed so
powerfully to the
success of our
society…”
▪ -Diane Ravitch
4) GRACE
Feeling thankful
and empathy for
peers;
appreciating the
work of others
5) RISK
“YOUTH IN ARTS ORGANIZATIONS USE THE PREDICTABILITY OF RISKS IN THE ARTS TO INTENSIFY THE
QUALITY OF THEIR INTERACTIONS, PRODUCTS, PERFORMANCES.”

I WISH I KNEW…
ONE TEACHER’S ENTRY INTO THE WORLD OF HER KIDS
(KYLE SCHWARTZ, DENVER TEACHER)
THERE’S A LOT TO BEING A TEACHER!
AND, KIDS ARE WONDERFULLY CAPABLE
WHEN THEY HAVE OPPORTUNITY
"THE POINT IS, ART NEVER
STOPPED A WAR AND NEVER
GOT ANYBODY A JOB. THAT WAS
NEVER ITS FUNCTION. ART
CANNOT CHANGE EVENTS. BUT
IT CAN CHANGE PEOPLE. IT CAN
AFFECT PEOPLE SO THAT THEY
ARE CHANGED...BECAUSE
PEOPLE ARE CHANGED BY ART ENRICHED, ENNOBLED,
ENCOURAGED - THEY THEN ACT
IN A WAY THAT MAY AFFECT THE
COURSE OF EVENTS...BY THE
WAY THEY VOTE, THEY BEHAVE,
THE WAY THEY THINK."
Leonard Bernstein
