This article does an excellent job of explaining and defending the use of art within lessons on math and science. The article is written at/for the college level instructor, but it could be a perfect fit for any grade level. The ideas presented could be easily modified to fit a K-12+ teaching/learning environment. The article presents an argument for the use of art, while also presenting some of the barriers to the inclusion of the "A" in STEM. Overall, a great article for any one looking to incorporate art into their math or science lesson planning.
