inclusion

is the foundation of art, adapted. working to create curriculum that can be used by all students in a gen-ed art classroom.

separation because of special needs or behavioral removal from art class takes away student opportunities for creativity, collaboration, and art education.

obstacles

students who are either bored with the art curriculum or who are unable to find any real-world connection of art in their lives, are more likely to have negative behaviors and are more likely to be removed for disruptive behavior.

art students who lack confidence in their art making ability, particularly as they move into middle grades, are more likely to act out and be removed, or just shut down and not participate.
