Here are some ideas from the web.
"The arts have served to connect our imagination with the history of human existance. Studying civilization and creative expression throughout history and across cultures enables students to experience diversity and is multiculturalism in practice. The arts are a fundamental part of the cultural heritage of every student and as such, enhance the quality of life. They bring joy, enrichment, and fulfillment to every human being. Art allows students to acquire the tools and knowledge necessary to create individual responses to a variety of issues and is essential, not only in understanding life, but in living fully."
Why Study Art?
"To enjoy beautiful creations of artists who shape the world.
To learn about ourselves - our feelings, our ideas of what is beautiful and what values and beliefs we like to see in artworks.
To learn about other people - their feelings, their ideas of what is beautiful and what values and beliefs they liked to see in their art.
To learn about other cultures - the values and beliefs that shaped their visual arts."

"The arts have served to connect our imaginations with the history of human existence . . . Art is a basic component of a complete education. Art experience fosters aesthetic development; the ability to construct, create, decode, and describe. It provides avenues of communication, paves the way for reading, and motivates written expression. Art is a product, a process, and an essential element for creative thought and experience."
