The more ways we have to communicate, the better we can express our thoughts/feelings, and understand others. We use more than words to communicate. Arts, reading and writing share the same creative problem solving process. You can read thoughts and feelings in art.
According to academic literature, combining technology with visual arts is particularly effective with difficult-to-engage students, including students with learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders.
Cross-disciplinary models that use visual arts help teachers to stimulate multiple intelligences in their students, and make language learning more enjoyable.
Visual arts offer an alternative way of knowing. Heart, head, and hands-on learning combine by responding to visual arts. Visual arts can unveil beauty embedded in other disciplines.
