Read Steven Weber's Discussion Of Why Art Is Vital

I recommend reading Steven Weber's article on the importance of art in education and the mind. find it onThe Huffington Post at:

I read new posts on the Huffington Post several times each day. The journalistic freedom and effort there, the truths revealed and doors knocked off their hinges have become an essential isotope of oxygen for my mind. This Blog of Blogs has become an essential beginning middle and end every day.
