Art and Learning Arts-based learning is a vehicle through which students can learn subjects such as language, history and mathematics. Moreover, when they learn these core subjects through poetry, song, narratives, painting, dance and drama they not only find that these subjects come more easily in many cases but also that there is better retention. This research found that arts-based learning supports a stronger model for engaging individual learning styles and preferences and tapping into children’s “multiple intelligences” even as arts-based learning has the power to increase student self-esteem by encouraging a range of forms of self-expression.
