Language proficiency, cultural background, prior experience and interest impact student learning.
Students' academic language and language proficiency is a concern at the lower elementary level.
All content areas have their own academic vocabulary and using a variety of learning opportunities that targets visual, tactile, auditory and senses engages all students in language development.
The visual arts provides a unique opportunity for students to use academic language using the elements of art.  The concepts include: texture, line, shape, form, value, color, space, symmetry, patterns, and movement.
Students are given multiple opportunities to discuss, explore and learn concepts.
Example:

Texture rubs in nature, tree, leaves

Drawing a variety of texture

Application to art work.

Fostering Conversation for Diverse learners:

Peer Feedback/feedback

Open ended questions

Make connections to self, others and real life

Visual arts can be integrated with literature and illustration.
Example:  Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are
