"If a child feels better about himself because he is experiencing success in one area, that may just spill over into other activities", a psychologist at Harvard said.
The teachers the Harvard psychologist talked with who have worked with Multiple Intelligence Theory spoke of this " spillover" in terms of greater risk-taking by students. Given a chance to learn through the various domains of intelligence, children tend to try what is harder for them because they’ve experienced success in easier areas. Multiple Intelligence Theory, which is formulated by Howard Gardner, F helps a teacher work from a child’s strengths.
My work during the past four years has been as a teacher of the visual arts at the Learning Prep School for language-impaired and learning-disabled students. Gardner’ theory puts into words what I have long suspected to be true—there are many different ways of learning, and the arts are an area where some students can excel.
The children at the Learning Prep School in West Newton, Massachusetts, have not succeeded in the traditionally accepted areas of intelligence. These students are, however, capable of conceptual thinking, even though their use of language is often limited. The visual arts have been one of the areas in which a number of students have been able to succeed. The visual arts have been integrated into the traditional curriculum in order to enhance learning and to build on a child’s strengths.
In many ways, the arts can help shape the total child. The visual arts encourage and stimulate language development, and promote conversations that eventually lead to a greater willingness and ability to express the discussion of art projects by using words that describe color, texture, shape and size. Auditory skills of listening and following directions are reinforced. In addition, many children increase their power of observation and become more aware of the world around them. They can learn to concentrate and sustain interest in something meaningful to them. By using tools and materials, children increase manipulative skills, dexterity and coordination. They learn to make decisions of personal taste, color and materials, and they learn to share through creative expression.
