Many people think visually, "in pictures." Art-based educational strategies leverage this strength. Use art-based strategies to teach and basic English language skills. No art background is required by the parent, teacher, or student. Lessons are based on world-class brain research from Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, the Dana Foundation and other top universities that links art-based learning methods with improved verbal and written language skills, as well as enhanced abstract thinking and creativity. Content includes numerous links to art museums around the world for practice in reading, comprehension, analytical thinking, and verbal expression. The Lesson is suitable for home, public, private, and charter school use. Art themes are based on the visual elements people see that make them think, feel and act - as compared to art historical terms or jargon. Art theme for Lesson One: "Air, Edge, and Surface".
