What is meant by “the arts and humanities” integrated curriculum? What relationships do the arts have to the humanities and what do they suggest with respect to curricular structures, content, and pedagogical practices through which students become truly educated? The newly developed Arts and Humanities Curriculum has brought unprecedented debates within the field of art education in Taiwan due to its radical reform. Based on the working experiences with a group of elementary art teachers in Taiwan, the authors proposed implementing the idea of “intertextuality” as a means for integrated art instruction. According to the proposal, the goal for the Arts and Humanities curriculum is to cultivate educated individuals to survive in “information societies”. In this paper, by presenting three examples, we suggest that teachers in Taiwan of new Arts and Humanities broaden their horizon of interests, thus to a “literatus” – someone who is competent to integrate ideas within and among texts, and in turn inspire his / her students to do the same.
