    I'm not sure what's been mentioned already, but Champions of Change,
    http://artsedge.kennedy-center.org/champions/pdfs/ChampsReport.pdf, is
    a great resource, as is Gaining the Arts Advantage,
    http://www.pcah.gov/gaa/ .

    You might also be able to find some articles on the Center for Arts in
    the Basic Curriculum Web site. http://www.newhorizons.org/ofc_cabc.html

    Hope this helps.

I'm pulling out my bigs guns on this one. PE is trying to get my
principal
to hire another PE teacher instead of an art teacher. (We have 2 PE, 2
music and 1 1/2 art on our campus of 700 students). I need proof that
art
is just as valuable to the curriculum as PE. They have come up with all
sorts of articles and websites to show many hours a week the children
need
PE. So, I need to find proof that the children need more than 50 minutes
of
art once per week. The more websites I can find the better. I have dug
around on here and the NAEA website and haven't found much. Anything at
this point would help!!!

    THANKS!
Melissa
