In 2003, the National Museum of Women in the Arts received a grant from the U.S. Department of Education to develop an arts integration curriculum and to study the impact of that curriculum on student learning. Results of the three-year study show that the Art, Books, and Creativity Curriculum:
- Provides a significant positive effect on student learning in visual arts and writing;
- Works as an effective model for integrating visual arts and language arts;
- Supports State and National Learning Standards, and
- Shows particular effectiveness in high-poverty schools.
The following link will provide you with the curriculum, interactive demonstrations and views of artist's books as well as resources and links. http://www.artbookscreativity.org/
