Art Integrated Learning (AIL) or Learning Integrated Art (LIA) is a teaching-learning model or pedagogical intervention implicating learning through with various art forms as well learning with art forms.
According to Jaipur based educator, Dr Lalit Kishore, AIL pedagogy is based on designing and executing interventions that combine art elements for cognitive learning or understanding concepts of various content areas of the prescribed curricula."
"Art-integration is a cross-curricular pedagogical approach that utilizes various aspects and forms of art and culture as the basis for learning of concepts across subjects. As a part of the thrust on experiential learning, art-integrated education will be embedded in classroom transactions not only for creating joyful classrooms, but also for imbibing the Indian ethos through integration of Indian art and culture in the teaching and learning process at every level. This art-integrated approach will strengthen the linkages between education and culture." suggests the National Education Policy-2020 [1].
Dr Kishore adds, "My experience in desiring and experimentation with art-integrated learning inform that a combination of visual codes and text codes with space balanced decorated by doodle art, patterns and expanding contour lining [2] provide artistic look to the dual coded subject matter [3]."
Both, the CBSE [4] and the NCERT [5], have produced documents and guidelines for implementation of AIL in schools 'where we can hear the students singing, or see them dancing, acting, and creating works of art—all in ways that reflect a growing understanding of their core scholastic concepts.'
