Woodrow Wilson Elementary in Bartlesville, Oklahoma utilizes art through out all the school's curricula. But through using the arts they target all 8 of Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences. Not only does the arts keep students engaged but they also target different ways students may learn. This caught my attention because often we, or at least I, think about art education and arts integration and thats it. But bringing in this other element to be cognizant of complicates arts education, but will make the curriculum richer and maybe more accessible.
