The arts also draw on a range of learning modalities (visual, aural, kinesthetic) and intelligences (e.g., bodily/kinesthetic, spatial, visual, musical). For example, drama communicates visually, aurally, and kinesthetically and draws on interpersonal, intrapersonal, and linguistic intelligences. Dance communicates visually, kinesthetically, and aurally (if music is used) and draws on bodily/kinesthetic, spatial, and musical intelligences.
These learning modalities are so important to know about, so we can reach all students. In my Theatre Methods class, we talked about how, as teachers, we can't just teach in the learning style that makes sense to us. We must erase that bias to be able to teach everyone!
