Upon checking some more sights, especially google scholar, I have found that the best resources for my report are probably going to be books. I have not yet been able to get to the library, but I plan to this week (hopefully!). However, I was able to get some solid facts out of the summaries and previews I was able to read about the different books I found.
In summary, it looks like there is a lot of studies on the effects art and music have on a child's brain development. It seems like the earlier you get started the better. The prime ages of brain development and imprinting lasting knowledge is between the age of birth (in some books, it even says before birth) to age 3-5 (depending on the source I was looking at). I also found a book that focused only on the importance of Art in continuing education for a variety of reasons, including keeping the brain stimulated and focused.
