Nitin Kaku is the author of THIS great blog post with researched information, and links on how art (and art education) has proven health benefits. These links may be helpful in defending your program should your school be considering closing an art department because "core classes" are somehow "more important."
We know this argument is false, and that the "secret" to a failing school's success is in fact a rigorous art program, as I detail in this post.
Three research/studies that provide direct information for art educators can be found in these links below.
The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology suggested that drawn words were better recalled than written.
Kinesthetic-sensory qualities of art can potentially enhance self-regulation among individuals of all age groups.
Research conducted by National Center of Biotechnology Information revealed that learning of science can be enhanced when taught in relation with visual arts.
