ABSTRACT This review summarizes articles written about arts integration during the period of 1995 – 2007. It discusses idea/terms including; interdisciplinary, arts-infused, cross-disciplinary, thematic, and arts-based. It summarizes the function/role of arts education and arts integration in America. The review points to the benefits of the “Correlated Curriculum” movement of the mid to late 1930’s in terms of integrity of involved content areas. It also highlights the inquiry/problem-based learning movement of the mid twentieth century. These two ideas seem to be especially relevant to arts integration today. It also discusses the successes and bumps of teaching artists and arts partnerships. IMPLICATIONS/QUESTIONS: · **This is an overview of arts integration history and ideas. I wonder if teacher participants are aware of these? Would some of this be useful/interesting as foundations for arts integration work?**
