The integration of art with other subjects in the classroom is a best practice since it teaches and encourages art across the curriculum.

Learners engage in a creative process, which connects an art form and other learning areas and meets evolving objectives in both. Nations construct their own cultures and traditions. Such cultures and traditions are shared among each other during classroom interactions. Therefore, art can promote international understanding of different societies. As a result, children should be granted an opportunity to visualise their world from myriad perspectives.

The Foundation Phase curriculum includes activities that will help children develop their cognitive, social and motor abilities. 5.3 Critically discuss this statement by supporting with examples that are related to your experiences as a child or in the classroom environment as a teacher.
