Journal for Learning through the Arts:
A Research Journal on Arts Integration in Schools and Communities

Managing Editors:
Dr. Liane Brouillette, University of California, Irvine
Dr. Bobbi McKean, University of Arizona

As young people progress through school and through life, the visual and performing arts not only provide avenues for creative expression but also assist in fashioning of cognitive tools and enhance interpersonal understanding. Drama, music, dance, visual and digital art help bridge differences among academic disciplines, cultures, and generations. The sense of wonder engendered by the arts encourages wide-ranging interests that may support more systematic inquiry in later years. To view JLtA, please click on the following link.
