new public service announcements (PSAs) in the newest phase of "The
Arts. Ask For More" public awareness program. Characters from
Disney's "Little Einsteins Little Einsteins is an animated television series on Playhouse Disney created by a team headed by Eric Weiner of Dora the Explorer fame, Emmy Award winning Director Olexa Hewryk, and produced by Curious Pictures, The Baby Einstein Company and Disney Channel. " are used in the new PSAs to
promote arts education to parents and to children in pre-kindergarten
through eighth grade. The NAMM Foundation and the Ad Council also have
produced television advertisements that encourage both children and
parents to participate in the arts together. The characters'
adventures with the arts help kids develop creativity and
self-expression while emphasizing teamwork, friendship, and exploration.
Spoofs of "healthy arts food products" like "Raisin
Brahms," featuring the composer Johannes Brahms, and "Van
Goghgurt," featuring the artist Vincent van Gogh, continue the
approach from the earlier phase of the national awareness campaign.
