Humanity has always used the arts in one form or another to express and explore its existence. Creative thinking, decision making, problem solving, learning ability, collaboration and self-management are just some of the attitudes required to create art, attitudes that transfer to many other disciplines in life. More importantly the open and questioning mind, necessary to create new ways of seeing the world, is a fundamental strength of the artistic approach and one that has lead to many great discoveries in science and math.
