I just saw this great presentation from the TED conference (Technology Entertainment adn Design) where successful/creative people talk about their opinions or how they do what they do and this one speaker gave a great presentation about how important the arts are to our education. You must see this video: http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html I also found this great livebinder that lists all of the great interactive art websites, that teachers and parents can share with their kids. http://livebinders.com/play/play?id=2266
