Abstract
This article serves as an addendum to the previous article, ‘Children's Ideas About Selected Art and Economic Concepts Before and After an Integrated Unit of Instruction’. It is addressed to preservice and inservice teachers and provides a seven-step procedural guide for developing integrated art-social studies lessons using the discipline-based art education model. The seven steps in the process include (1) choosing a social studies concept, (2) locating a work of art, (3) researching the content and context of the image, (4) developing guided discussion questions, (5) developing an art production activity, (6) developing an activity to reinforce the social studies concept, and (7) planning a variety of assessments. Explanations and helpful tips are provided by the author for each step. By following the seven steps, meaningful teaching and learning in both disciplines, art and social studies, is assured.
