Learning through the arts is the focus of SUAVE. Using the arts as a methodology for learning mathematics, science, social studies, literacy, and other subject areas is the program content. By learning to use the arts, teachers and students discover that the arts express and communicate ideas in an aesthetic context and thus a greater understanding and appreciation is developed for the subject matter. |
