Why can teachers use nature to inspire students to connect to the arts during a school year?

Section 3: Students' established connections with nature as a platform

Students' connection with nature occurs over time and therefore it will take time for students to connect with the arts (Wallace, 2019)

The connections students create with nature is similar to those created with the arts (Holloway & Mahan, 2012; Cho & Lee, 2018)

Section 2: A Loss of the Arts

The arts require teachers to collaborate (May, 2013)

There is not enough time given to teachers to prepare for the arts.

Community resources can be used to help the disappearing arts (Bowen & Kisida, 2017)

Low-income students do not have connections to the arts.

The arts have suffered from standardized testing (Mains, 2007; Daniel, 2010)

Focus is placed on subjects such as math and language arts due to these high demands.

Section 1: The Impact of the Arts

It is evident that the arts have made an impact on students and continue to do to the incorporation of the arts into the STEAM program (Ingraham & Nuttall, 2016; Rosen-O’Leary & Thompson, 2019)

High school students share the difference the arts made on their elementary school experience and how the arts are continuing to impact them (Steele, 2019)

The arts make a difference unlike other subjects (Rabkin & Redmond, 2006; Peppler et al., 2014; Mains, 2007)

Other subjects have the attention due to standardized testing and are making it easier to neglect the impact of the arts.

Introduction

The benefits of nature for children is evident because of the learning that occurs in the natural environment (Manookin, 2018)

Teachers naturally turn to nature as a learning opportunity because of the natural connection that is "built" between students and the outdoors (Wallace, 2019)

The arts can be used to inspire students to be environmentally aware and engaged (Inwood, 2013; Robidoux & Kovac, 2018; Malosh, 2010)

It is evident that nature and the arts "align."
