From the North Carolina Standard Course of Study:

An education in the arts benefits society because students of the arts disciplines gain powerful tools for:

• understanding human experiences, both past and present;

• teamwork and collaboration;

• making decisions creatively when no prescribed answers exist;

• learning to adapt to and respect others' (diverse) ways of thinking, working, and expressing themselves;

• learning problem recognition and problem solving, involving expressive, analytical, and developmental tools to every human situation (this is why we speak, for example, of the "art" of teaching or the "art" of politics);

• understanding the influence of the arts and their power to create and reflect cultures, the impact of design on our daily life, and in the interdependence of work in the arts with the broader worlds of ideas and action;

• developing the essential senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and kinesthetics as intellectual, emotional, physical, creative, and expressive acts;

• analyzing nonverbal communication and making informed judgments about cultural products and issues; and

• communicating effectively.
