Arts Integrated Curriculum Enhances Critical Thinking               At MLC, the visual, performing and media arts are central to daily learning experiences. Students engage in hands-on learning projects that allow them to experience the arts and technology as ways of learning and showing what they know. This happens within the classrooms in connection with academic subjects as well as through instructional experiences with community artists. Students learn in and through the arts. As they develop skills and knowledge in visual, performing and media arts, they apply that knowledge in a way that allows for deeper understanding of big ideas. At MLC students:  

·         experience and analyze works of art; 

·         learn and acquire skills in the arts; 

·         create and perform original works of art; 

·         assess and reflect on meaning of works of art including their own.
